John Edwards charged in felony indictment

[Blake]

RALEIGH, North Carolina – A federal grand jury indicted two-time presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday over $925,000 spent to keep his mistress and their baby in hiding during the peak of his 2008 campaign for the White House.

The case of USA v. Johnny Reid Edwards contains six counts, including conspiracy, four counts of illegal campaign contributions and one count of false statements.

The indictment said the payments were a scheme to protect Edwards' White House ambitions. "A centerpiece of Edwards' candidacy was his public image as a devoted family man," the indictment said.

"Edwards knew that public revelation of the affair and the pregnancy would destroy his candidacy by, among other things, undermining Edwards' presentation of himself as a family man and by forcing his campaign to divert personnel and resources away from other campaign activities to respond to criticism and media scrutiny regarding the affair and pregnancy," the indictment added.

The indictment and an arrest warrant were filed in Greensboro, N.C., which is in the district where his campaign was headquartered.

Not looking good for Johnny Reid....prosecution so far isn't willing to plea bargain to anything less than a felony.

What an asshat.

Johnny Reid Edwards

Well, I'm glad he never preached on family values. Then he'd really have gotten it in the media. I guess CNN will be his next gig.

SA210 will marry him in prison.

Wonder how good the prison hair stylist is.

Part of his punishment should be that he has to go to Fantastics Sam's or SuperCuts for the rest of his life! Oh, and only use the generic, shampoo + conditioner in one bottle.
