[history]
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.

....that he never makes it to prison! Either he flees, "resists arrest", or offs himself.
You heard it here first. This man has lost all, and has NOT turned to Jesus Christ and asked forgiveness from the American people.

He ruined the end of his wife’s life. You may not have liked her politics but she was a good mom, lost a teenage son, adored and cared for her little kids, and was not too happy to have terminal cancer.
I think somewhere she is smiling today.

Mr. Edwards. We know you’re in there. Put down that hairdryer and makeup mirror and come out slowly with your hands up!

do you REALLY believe he will serve time?
IF he does, it will be at a country club, for sure.

He’s been indicted, and I’m so excited
He might have to go to jail and I think I like it, yeah!
Could have become the prez...Rolling Stone(d) gushed about him being The Real Liberal in 2007.
I must admit I voted for him in MA/ Dem primary in 2004. I am unenrolled—can take either ballot. Bush was unopposed; I decided I wanted the luxury of voting against Kerry twice
so I picked The Breck Girl in primary, W in the final.

The FED needs to investigate John McCain.
How did he manage to 'keep' some $20 million from his presidential campaign to use later in his Senate campaign?
McCain "...accepted $84.1 million in public funding for his [presidential] campaign." [

Hussein is probably giddy over this. Weiner's probably thrilled as well.

Johnny may be about to experience each of the two Americas — the one on this side of the bars and the one on that side of them.

Don’t wish ill fortune on the guy also think that after his earlier uears of being a shyster, ripoff lawyer that this all comes back to bite him. I pray that he gets his life course corrected and stable for his family if nothing else.

He still lies and thinks that he is above everyone else. I'll no longer have schadenfreud when he spends 10-20 to life behide bars and loses his ill-gotten, bearing false witness MILLIONS taken from him.
