Report: Former Presidential Candidate John Edwards Faces Indictment for Campaign Violations
Published May 25, 2011 | NewsCore
WASHINGTON -- Prosecutors can seek an indictment against former North Carolina Senator and two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards for allegedly using campaign donations to cover up an extra-marital affair and love child, ABC News reported late Tuesday.
The network, citing sources, said the Department of Justice has given the go-ahead for Edwards to be prosecuted and the former politician has been informed of the development.
Edwards may now accept a plea deal or face trial.

Total waste in time to send this guy to prison. If I were the judge....I’d be creative here. Make him pay the fine, and then make him work six months in some soup kitchen in Cleveland or Detroit. We don’t need guys like this taking up space in prisons.

And there’s the corollary to this story where the State-Run Media knew all about Edwards’ affair, but chose not to report on it.

We don’t need guys like this taking up space in prisons. I must have woke up in a benevolent mood this morning because I'm inclined to agree with you.
I don't really care how democrats piss away their campaign donations, if he misspent federal matching funds, I'd have to reassess that. If not, a guilty verdict and a sentence like you propose would be enough.

In that scenario, someone is a pimp and someone is a whore. I can’t figure out which.

Of course they did not report it. It might have helped Hillary and hurt Obama.

First democrat in history to be prosecuted for this, what is the real story. He is out of power and disgraced - therefore a useful fall guy.

Total waste in time to send this guy to prison. Just imagine the crimes he committed that we don't know about!
I know that's not fair, but this guy just screams "dead mistress in a storm drain" to me. He's kennedyesque!
