RALEIGH, N.C. — A federal indictment is looming for former presidential candidate John Edwards, who is still sitting on $2.8 million in his campaign fund from 2008. Whether he could use that money to fight potential criminal charges depends on the Federal Elections Commission, which makes recommendations on a case-by-case basis.

Edwards will have little recourse to rehabilitate his image and renew his legal career if confronted with charges involving the money used to cover up his extramarital affair.
A plea to a felony charge involving campaign finances could strip him of his law license, ending any hope he could work as an attorney. And a trial would mean more sordid stories about his campaign affair and the child he fathered, further battering his reputation.
Even if he were to win the case, it appears the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee would do so by making a humiliating argument: that money used to keep his mistress and out-of-wedlock child in hiding was intended to shield the affair from his cancer-stricken wife — not to aid his candidacy, which is what prosecutors believe.

Just exactly what I was thinking....lmao.
Edwards might have a chance of beating Obama in a primary run off.
If Edwards tries to come back, the tabloids will follow him again.
If he loses his law license he may really have to consider being the Breck Girl.
His career was over when he couldn’t deliver North Carolina for Kerry-Edwards; everything else afterwards was meaningless to most people.
You know it. He might even end up an anchor!
“Edwards’ reputation probably beyond repair”
Ya think?
Gee, what kind of “reputation” did he ever have, anyway?
Just wonderin’....
Breck Girl has extorted enough dough from U.S. corporations to have more than enough for hair treatments better than generic Walgreens products.
