John Edwards’ explanation of his affair with videographer Rielle Hunter includes several apparent inconsistencies, which grate against his assertion that he was telling “99 percent” of the truth before coming clean Friday in a confessional interview.
Edwards admitted to the affair with Hunter, saying it began in 2006. He denied it for months it following reports by the National Enquirer last October.
But discrepancies between his story and the unraveling timeline of events raise more questions about whether Edwards' attempts to come clean are in fact just more lies and half-truths.
A former close friend to Edwards’ mistress told FOXNews.com on Monday that the former presidential candidate’s affair began months before she was hired to work for his campaign — contrary to Edwards’ claim that the relationship began only after Hunter was hired to film Edwards for a series of documentaries to appear on the Internet.
Pigeon O’Brien said Hunter met Edwards at a New York City hotel in late February or early March of 2006, and that the affair began shortly thereafter.
By the time Hunter was signed on to the Edwards campaign as a videographer — for a fee of $114,000 — O’Brien said they were already in a steamy relationship.

In his written statement admitting the affair, Edwards said the “misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then.”
But according to reports, Hunter wrote e-mails in early April about a trip she took to North Carolina to see her “love lips.”
Campaign finance records also show Hunter received her first payment in July 2006.
Other loose threads are also unraveling Edwards’ account.

Obviously.
BAd breath obviously..
The second coming of Bill Clinton. Pun intended.
It’s a bitch to defend multiple lies over long periods of time. Pretty soon they all get kinda jumbled up.
In this case, I would trust that source!
John “Love Lips” Edwards
A lot of attorneys lie for their living, especially the Edwards-types, that’s why they are very careful to speak words that can be twisted into a completely alternate meaning sometime in the future if the need arises.
First rule of cheating: Deny, Deny, Deny.
When caught, admit to the least offensive act you can.
After that, blame it on the rain, your job, your stress, anything but yourself
Exhibit contrition, remorse, and promise the damn world.
Later (a day to a week), declare the transgression "in the past and let's move on from here".
IT WORKS
Who cares? When are we going to get over our fascination with who people are having sex with?
Geez - if you’re gonna throw away your political career on a cheap floozie, at least pick on you can look at while sober.
If it’s democrat and its mouth is moving, it’s lying.
And I am sorry, but I would not hit it with John’s. Her chin is like the Joker’s.
When was Elizabeth diagnosed with cancer?
It’s not just about sex. It’s about trust and honesty and doing the right thing. You are reading the thread, so I assume you are “fascinated” as well. He has small children and a wife with cancer, yet you can defend his behavior. I hope your wife is as understanding as Elizabeth and Hillary.
In this case, I would trust that source!
So she goes by her middle name.
Would you prefer it if she called herself Stool O'Brien?
Let me know how that statement works out for you when you say it to your spouse after you're caught having an affair.
I’d hit it. She’s got that cougar thingy going on.
