Opening arguments will begin Monday in the trial of John Edwards, a two-time Democratic presidential hopeful accused of illegally using political campaign money to hide a love affair from the public and his cancer-stricken wife.

Edwards, a former senator who was White House candidate John Kerry's vice presidential choice in 2004, faces six criminal charges related to accepting nearly $1 million to hide his affair with videographer Rielle Hunter and the child he fathered with her.

In the indictment, prosecutors argue that Edwards broke the law by accepting the cash as an illegal contribution to his 2008 presidential campaign so he could maintain his image as a model family man.

At the time Edwards was married to his college sweetheart, attorney Elizabeth Edwards. The couple had four children, including a teenage son who died in a freak automobile accident in 1996.

By all appearances it was a model family -- so perfect that in 2007 a charity even granted Edwards an award as "Father of the Year.".....snip~

Now here is a true POS.....not like Nugent or Romney. Here is the guy that would have decieved an entire Nation. Kerrys VP pick and Edwards himself Running for the Presidency. Do you think by backing Obama Edwards was looking for cover? One can get no lower that this Liberal Democrat. Despite his alleged good looks and prestige.

Putting his wife thru all that shit and right before she died. Putting his kids thru the same thing as their mother was dying. Notice we dont hear those loud-mouthed liberals talking about this guy anymore. They considered him a Rock Star. Their next Poster-Boy. "What happened"? They all use to rave about him.

Yeah we have had Pols cheating on their wives with Escorts or Hookers. But none of them were cheating on a woman who was their Wife. Going thru medical treatments for cancer. All the emotional trauma he had to cause this woman. Who stuck by his side thru think and thin. This guy was nothing more than a lying sack of shit.

Not to mention he took an Oath and swore before God, witnesses, and Elizabeth his other half. Vows he would keep. With what people go thru with Cancer right before they pass away. This guy is the lowliest scum on the planet. (Spits)

Look at him in that second pic.....reminds me of the Anti-Christ hoopla they talk about. Not that he is the real one. Just that the smug bastard knew he was playing everybody all along. :angry:

Edwards' tapes are probably just films of himself masturbating with a mirror.

I think that was Anthony Weiner. This punk could have been VP of the United States. I bet you can't find one lefty who will admit they supported this miscreant.

[Conley]

:laugh: Yep, I could see that being the case for him too. It's a shame we can't harness the power of their egos or we'd have an alternate energy supply.

[MMC]

This guy takes the cake. Talk about nothing exceeds like excess. This is the putz right here. Alias calls it Right. (where are they, oh thats right they think TED is worse than this POS.) The left couldn't get their tongue out of Edwards azz. Then all the Blue-Dogs thought Edwards was for them. Don't forget it was Edwards that helped Obama to take away the Victory that Hillary thought she had as a shoe-in.

Just imagine how this woman felt knowing she was checking out. While Good Ole Johnny here was tootin his horn. Then to have to get up on stage and still cover his azz politically.

If he walks from this case maybe those Black Panthers who think they are something but in actualality they are nothing more than some thugs. Should be throwing out that bounty on Edwards.

Mr. 400 dollars for a haircut.

[roadmaster]

As a Lawyer, he was a good one. Did make me sick the way he did his wife. He will have to live with that, not me.

[Peter1469]

I heard that his wife was an extremely nasty person.

[MMC]

Prosecutors say Edwards, 58, manipulated Young into soliciting more than $900,000 from two wealthy donors to hide the affair and pregnancy and avoid destroying his campaign.
They say Young was so dedicated to Edwards that he agreed to falsely claim paternity of mistress Rielle Hunter's baby at Edwards' request.

But the former senator's defense on Monday said Young pocketed most of the money and used it to help bankroll a $1.5 million home for his family......snip~

http://news.yahoo.com/prosecutors-call-john-edwards-manipulative-ambitious-004939656.html

Does an think Edwards will get any time? Or will he walk away from it? Think if they were to find Edwards innocent. That he would try to get back into politics?

Elizabeth?

I don't know if he's remarried and you're referring to someone else.

I really don't care to be honest. I'm not one of these dweebs who relish in the demise of someone from the opposing political party (schadenfreund) unless maybe it's someone significant, and John Edwards was never really significant as far as I'm concerned.

[MMC]

Well I thought he was significant enough to bail on Hillary and go with Obama. I mean he still was that focal point that helped Obama overcome and beat out Hillary. I doubt Obama wins if Edwards sticks with the Clintons.

Yeah I never heard anything about Elizabeth being a mean person. Unless one just looks at attoneys in general.

[Conley]

From what I read they had a terrible marriage and each did many awful things to each other. I think losing their son certainly contributed, but their personal stuff doesn't really interest me.

Edwards got pretty close to the VP nomination, didn't he? At least on the short list...and he was 3rd behind Obama and Hillary, right? So I think he was significant right up until the Enquirer dropped that bomb. After that it was game over.

Yep, and he was Kerry's pick for VP his first time round the circus.

Ah thanks, I had forgotten all about that. That was such a forgettable campaign that Kerry ran.

Edwards was a non-establishment candidate- against the big corporations, big banks, etc. Considering that, he was doing very well.

[dadakarma]

'Game Change' painted her in an unflattering light. Not that that excuses Edwards' behaviour.

He should have just divorced her, not cheated on her. But that also would have likely killed his political career.

Are you serious? He's a piece of shit because he got some strange? If his wife was going through medical treatments, id est, chemo - then it's a safe bet she wasn't putting out...

Maybe Elizabeth Edwards transformed into a bonafide ice cold flounder over the years - maybe not...

[roadmaster]

I heard that his wife was an extremely nasty person.

Because I live in NC and met her unless she did it out of the public eye I found her to be very respectable and liked.

Edwards did a lot of damage to his friends and others who had invested everything into his campaign - money, services, their futures, etc. He denied it at every turn and threw them all under the bus when the web of lies collapsed. Cheating on his wife is bad IMO but he went much further with his actions.

Exactly.....damage all the way round. Cheating on his wife is bad, cheating on her while she is dying. Worse! :rollseyes:

[roadmaster]

If you had cancer would you think it was ok to do this to a person? Stress is not good for cancer patients and regardless a D or R he put her under stress. Think about it and stop being insensitive for once. I know it's the net but try and be honest for once and show your age.

It snowballed into something more diabolical - like a bad Stiller movie, that's all folks...definitely nothing worth being locked up in the slammer for more than thirty years...at most he should be fined then ordered to pay restitution for the monies he'd used to cover up his affair - maybe some probation.

You don't know if Elizabeth Edwards' vagina developed a strange and mysterious oder, that the next best thing was the oh so kinda cute blonde working the camera with a vagina that sparkled with a "Wild Thing" soundtrack to it? I damn sure don't know - who're you to judge otherwise?

I didn't know he was facing that kind of time. Is that all because of the stolen campaign money or did he perjure himself as well?

Anyhow, I stand by my statement that he did a lot more wrong than just cheat on his wife. As far as their sex life, I have no idea, but regardless of excuses cheating on a spouse is never good.

Deflect, deflect, deflect...it's a tired old M.O. Sling the bullshit and then deny it.

Show her age? If you thought the budget deficit was high...

[Vilifier of Zombies]

Up to thirty years. He supposedly used campaign contributions to cover up both his extra-marital affair and the child born out of wedlock because of that affair...seems more like he panicked, not a calculated preplanned event meant to deceive those who'd contributed to his campaign.

A million greenbacks is a lot of money - not thirty years in the slammer given what other politicians have been able to get away with over the years, that and a lot of those funds would've been his had they been leftover funds from losing the election anyways - basically it's all about timing - during the election and Edwards is fucked - after the election and it's no big deal...

Restitution, a fine imposed, and maybe some sort of mandated community service (no reason his education and experience can't be put to good use, there's a lot of pro bono work that could get done if it meant that he wouldn't become someone's salad tossing prison bitch) and a short stint on probation if he's found guilty of actually using campaign contributions - everything else should remain between him, the baby mamma/adulteress/ho, and his family.

[Peter1469]

Bill Clinton got away with a lot more. Lying under oath before a federal judge. Urging a witness to purger herself....

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/contempt041399.htm

Wright, who personally presided over Clinton's January 1998 deposition in the Jones case, acknowledged that no court had ever taken such action against a president but said it was important to act to "protect the integrity" of the judicial process.
"Sanctions must be imposed, not only to redress the president's misconduct, but to deter others who might themselves consider emulating the president of the United States by engaging in misconduct that undermines the integrity of the judicial system," she wrote.

Kudos to the first person to post the judge's 32 page order. That is where the good stuff is.

[roadmaster]

I was under the impression they have already taken his law license away.

Apparently not yet based on my quick skim of Google. If he's convicted, then I would think he must be disbarred.

Who took away his inactive license to practice law?

--he was trying to keep his wife from finding out about the affair, not influence the outcome of an election.

Edward's lead attorney, Abbe Lowell seems to be very capable - Lowell is already asking how funds that weren't handled by the candidate nor were they ever deposited into a campaign account could be considered campaign contributions - is a good start for Edwards.

[Peter1469]

I think Peter's a lawyer, or knows the law industry well but even if he's not convicted, he could be disbarred I believe.

Correct, although I am not sure if a bar would disbar a lawyer for what is alleged. Probably a suspension or a rebuke.

And any disbarred lawyer can apply for readmission.

[Conley]

I think Peter's a lawyer, or knows the law industry well but even if he's not convicted, he could be disbarred I believe.

I think that's right also. He can be disbarred without being convicted, but I doubt he can be convicted and not disbarred.

[Conley]

Clinton was disbarred but I don't think he was ever found guilty of a criminal act was he?

[roadmaster]

Apparently not yet based on my quick skim of Google. If he's convicted, then I would think he must be disbarred.

The way NC is he should have known better. I personally know four lawyers, two got disbarred, one in jail, and the other demoted and can no longer handle DUI's or anything having to do with traffic, he got off easy.
The one that went to jail was in his early 30's.

Woah. I imagine much of it is political and I don't doubt that Edwards has many enemies.

[Peter1469]

The judge cited him with civil contempt of court. Most legal experts question why it was not criminal contempt of court.

[Vilifier of Zombies]

If he's found not guilty then it's unlikely that he'll get disbarred - you have to do a whole lot of fucked up shit to get disbarred in the state of North Carolina...anything is possible but it's thin - if he's found guilty or admits guilt or files or accepts a plea then it's on like Donkey Kong.

I don't think cheating on your cancer stricken wife has anything to do with violating North Carolina's Rules for Professional Conduct - I could be wrong though, even if it is, I'd think admonishment - not disbarment would be the likely outcome.

Adultery (in North Carolina it's a class 2 misdemeanor - the equivalent of a seventeen year old buying a pack of smokes) , isn't necessarily grounds for disbarment in the state of North Carolina, if it were I doubt the North Carolina Bar Association would have as many members as it does.

Clinton's law license was suspended for five years and he'd [agreed to pay a $25, 000 fine) to Arkansas state bar officials as opposed to disbarment, Clinton then resigned from the Supreme Court Bar because he faced the possibility of being disbarred.

Maybe but if the wife says the other woman destroyed their marriage she has a case. Things have changed in the last 5 years. Nope, adultery is not a reason for disbarment but if he used campaign funds to support and hide her than it is.

That's why I posted if he were acquitted he wouldn't be disbarred in the state of North Carolina, all that's left is if Edwards violated North Carolina's Rules of Professional Conduct since adultery would be the only thing they'd have on him.

[Captain Obvious]

Suspended...

Isn't it technically the same thing?

I'm not sure it is or isn't, but I'm assuming it is.

[Vilifier of Zombies]

No, disbarment is different from a suspension - even in Arkansas.

There are different levels of discipline for lawyers, easiest way to explain it I suppose is that most common for minor offenses/misconduct are either admonishment or private or public reprimands followed by public censures (think of either as it being the same as a truck driver by day getting off work then going to the bar then getting busted for a DWI on the way home at night, he'll still be able to work, but it'll damn sure have some negative consequences) then suspension from practicing law (say that same truck driver fucks up a year later and gets another DWI, now he's likely to have his license suspended, thus out of work for a specific period of time til he's able to get his license back when the suspension is up) to the most severe being disbarment (now we're talking about the truck driver not only having two priors but getting popped for a third time for a DWI on the job because he'd just rear ended a Hyundai at an intersection, he'll no longer be able to garner a CDL much less have a license to drive in quite a few states [which works because states have their own bar associations] which means he won't be employed as a truck driver - more so with how much it'd cost just to insure him if he somehow got it back for whatever reason).

Varying areas of law and one could get disbarred then reapply for membership to the bar after a specified period of time in some states and no one would be the wiser - tort law - criminal law - sometimes even municipal law, others, id est, tax law - contract law - international law (foreign asset control/comparative) - or communications law, in most states and it's the kiss of death, you might as well get used to the idea that you'll be flipping burgers battling zits on a daily basis at McDonald's getting told what to do by a high school junior turned assistant manager with a grudge to bear because he or she has been getting tormented by his or her peers for working at McDonald's in the first place or waiving around a sign that advertises mattress sales with a foam statue of liberty hat on your head running/jumping up and down the sidewalk next to a busy road adjacent to the shitty shopping outlet built in the 70's where the mattress store takes up real estate. Point being, the drunkard truck driver and the disbarred lawyer, depending on the area of law practiced have a lot in common...

[Vilifier of Zombies]

For someone like Edwards, losing his political future is punishment enough. There's a special brand of narcissism necessary to be a politician, and getting knocked from his high horse is devastating.

Personally, I like my legislators/executives horny. Chasing ass tends to keep them from getting sexually frustrated, which can lead to invading sovereign nations.


I bet if Congress spent what the Bunny Ranch in Dayton, Nevada makes a year plus tips and moving costs to get the Bunny Ranch moved to D.C. on the condition that their only clientele are to be Congressmen and that said proprietor only receives payment per annum for services rendered, it would sure make that facet of our government run more smoothly...

Same could apply for the Justices, right before they'd have to contemplate a decision they'd either get a hummer or a free ride on the sybian if female, or male if they swing that way...

And the POTUS should have his very own stable of hookers, that way there's no conflict of interest.

All over the state? Prostitution is only legal in 2 counties in Nevada.

All over the state? Prostitution is only legal in 2 counties in Nevada.

Rather there's eight counties in a large state that only has seventeen counties where prostitution is legal with a total of twenty eight brothels that equals out to about three hundred give or take hookers that're on shift each and every day.

A county in Nevada, size wise is a whole lot larger than most of the counties that're in the eastern states - Nye county alone is over eighteen thousand square miles, that's like fifteen or sixteen Rhode Islands.

Lyon County has traditionally had the more popular brothels in it, with it's proximity to Carson City and Reno the whore house business does well there...
