A federal grand jury has indicted two-time presidential candidate John Edwards in a campaign finance investigation.
The criminal charges filed Friday came after a two-year federal investigation into money used to cover up an extramarital affair during the 2008 presidential election.
Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina, said in a statement through his attorney in 2009 that he was confident no funds from his campaign were used improperly.
But federal officials have said the hundreds of thousands of dollars two Edwards donors gave to help keep his mistress in hiding were contributions that should have been reported publicly by his campaign fund because they aided his bid for the Democratic White House nomination.
My son bought one of 100 Trillion Dollar notes last weekend. A the time of it’s issuance it was worth 33 US cents.
Please, please let us have an OJ chase!
Good question!

Are you insane? Breck Girl won’t serve one second behind bars. He’ll get off scott free. Remember, he’s a dimoCRACK. They can do no wrong in the eyes of the law.....and Zero’s just-us department.
Did the feds include a charge of being an annoying, arrogant little bitch? If not, they missed the boat on at least one easy-to-prove charge.
And maybe Reillee or whatever her name is can be indicted as an accomplice. I feel sorry for the Edwards kids, first being born to parents like that, and now having to go thru their mother’s death and father’s possible incarceration, and all the shame/embarrassment that goes with it.
I think he's scared.

Go back to DU, troll!

Jyh Edwards prevented Hillary Clintod from becoming POTUS as Hillary would have easily beaten Obama in the Iowa caucus without the Breck Girl in the race.

I can just see the scene in “The Shawshank Redemption” being played out. You know, the one where the police come to Shawshank to arrest the warden and what the warden did to prevent that from happening.
I disagree. His entire career, both as a lawyer and as a politician, have damaged our country.
He belongs in jail.
That would even include Adolph Hitler who would have been forgiven IF he would have repented, confessed his sins to GOD and asked for forgiveness.
Why is that so? It is because the price that CHRIST paid was so high it covered EVERYONES sins for all time. There is no further price to pay for God's forgiveness, only repentance and acceptance of what Jesus has done for us.
The issue with Hitler is that he wouldn't, didn't and even couldn't repent because he was so far gone. It is not because the price paid was insufficient.
The bible states that by repeating our sins we become insensitive to them like searing the skin and losing feeling. The longer we remain in our sins rejecting God, the harder it is for us to repent due to the ‘searing’ of conscience.
The Bible also states that we need to forgive others if we want God to forgive us. That forgiveness is part of the repentance and acceptance of God's will for all. It is Gods will for ALL which includes not only us but also John Edwards to be saved.
The bible also states not to judge others, it God's right alone to do that. Once this life is over, we ALL will pass into judgment. Some for condemnation and others for reward. There are TWO judgment seats, One ‘The Judgment Seat of Christ’ is for reward for the saints while the other ‘The Great White Throne’ is for punishment.
The Bible states ‘For it is appointed onto man once to die and after that the judgment’. At the time of judgment I want to be before Christ for reward and not before the Father for punishment.
God's purpose for man is that he lives a Godly life in accordance with God's will. God doesn't want to punish if it can be avoided. The goal is repentance and correct living not an endless cycle of crime and punishment.
God is longsuffering (patient) and not willing for any to perish. He doesn't demand immediate punishment for any and all of our sins, He wants us to stop committing those sins and get right with Him. In that case, there is no punishment coming from God because Christ on the cross has already paid the price and suffered for every ones sins. He (Jesus) willingly took all the punishment due on himself rather than allow any to be lost due to those sins.
Jesus is the Christ (or Christos in Greek) which means ‘anointed one’. Christ is not Jesus last name, it is a title or appointment from God the Father unique to Jesus (yeshua in Hebrew) the only begotten Son of the Father).
That title or appointment is for no other and no other can rightly claim it.
I’ve got to run now for a VA appointment, Catch yall later.
Having never seen the film, I have no idea what you’re referring to. Nothing against you. Sorry :)
