It is the PROSECUTION not persecution of the Breck Girl.
What seems like a real possibility to me—something I’ve not heard anyone say—is that the Obama machine is behind this prosecution of Edwards. Obama has a history of clearing the competition from the playing field (ballot).
I have no idea if Edwards had intentions of running again, but if he is embroiled in a legal battle, he can’t run against Obama in 2012.
Isn’t there also a charge of lying involved?
So does this writer think all laws are wrong? If Edwards had robbed a bank would he be guilty then? This wasn’t his slush fund to use however he pleased. I doubt his supporters thought they were handing him money to keep his whore happy while he pretended to be the husband and father his campaign was portraying him to be.

Trying singing that song to Tom Delay.
I agree. You kinda gotta wonder what the current administration has against this guy. The prosecution is really over the top. Then again, perhaps it’s the usual excuse, i.e. distraction from what is really happening.
Blago IS guilty as sin and prolly his brother too. But with the Jury Pool that Patrick Fitzgerald has to draw from -- And in the Northern District of IL that consists of COOK county, DuPage County, Will County, Lake County and Kane County, and maybe more.
The odds were that Cook County RATS would there, and in big numbers. Even though 'Red' and 'Blue' folks may have been equal. So Fitz had an uphill battle from day one as he couldn't exclude everyone from Cook County. All Blago needed was ONE die-hard democrat from Cook County on that jury and he got it.
But we shall see what we shall see with Blago's 2nd trial.
This guy needs to blow it out his ear. Edwards stole money meant for another purpose, a special Constitutional purpose meant to serve the public, and gave it to his whore to shut her up. I mean Whore in the nicest way. She may be a great girl, a great mother, but she is nothing but his "chippee", his back door girl. She deserves nothing but our contempt, and John Edwards, he deserves 25 years to life. Put the fear of God into these sleazeball politicians. It is just as bad as Madoff did, with a lesser amount of cash. Words cannot express my wish to be the sitting judge in a case such as this. Throwing the book at him would be the minimum. He has taken the most important thing our nation needs from its "leaders" TRUST. No person in public service should be allowed to do this, and THEY need more punishment, not less than common criminals.
Good article thanks for posting this.
Well, there was a report just yesterday that the primary piece of evidence against Edwards is the death-bed deposition that Elizabeth gave just before her death. She apparently spelled out exactly what he did, and how he did it and the word is that the case is built largely upon her deposition.
If that is true, he is toast at a trial. There isn’t a juror in this Country who wouldn’t savor the chance to convict the Breck girl and make sure he goes to prison for a lot more than six months.
I am torn. Edwards is pond scum, and I wouldn’t mind seeing him burn for any breach of law. But, in this case it seems that Edwards did not skim money from general campaign contributions for personal use, but took money from 2 specific donors for a specific purpose (whether those donors knew the specific purpose or not.) That, to me, does not seem like something you go to prison for.
I’m not too worried about John’s future.
Ted Kennedy makes him look like a saint.
And Ted became the Democrat “Lion of the Senate”
