Edwards acknowledges probe over campaign funds

[thundley4]

"RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Failed presidential candidate John Edwards, whose political action committee paid more than $100,000 to his mistress' company, acknowledged Sunday that federal investigators were looking into how he handled his campaign funds.
But the former North Carolina senator said he was confident no money was used improperly.
Edwards' political action committee has been under scrutiny for making payments to a woman with whom he had an affair. Edwards admitted the affair with Rielle Hunter in August after months of denying tabloid reports about the relationship.
"I am confident that no funds from my campaign were used improperly," Edwards said in the statement. "However, I know that it is the role of government to ensure that this is true. We have made available to the United States both the people and the information necessary to help them get the issue resolved efficiently and in a timely matter." Link

The words "probe" and "Edwards" just shouldn't be used in the same article, much less the same sentence....

Graft, lies and corruption are the defining marks of the Democrat party.
I'm sure at one time there were statesmen in the party, but there are none now. I shudder to think what these criminals will do to the country in the next 4 years.

He was always my favorite Democrat, I mean, look at the rest of the lot.  He should have never given up his day job for politics, he was making gazillions .

 I'll always admire any politician who gives up money for public service, not many out there, am I right?

When a democrat gives up a high paying gig for politics, you know he plans to make as much or more while in office.  Democrats don't have a "public service" or "charitable" bone in their bodies.  If they were decent people they would be conservative republicans.

Ah, the Silky Pig. The dead-baby channeling, lying, vain, inane, money-chasing jerk, who screwed around on his dying, (albeit a bitch), wife, and had his loyal aide try to take the fall for it, w/o any regard to his wife and children.

I think his wife has a book out or it is coming out soon, but from what I heard she does talk about how she found out about the affair.

Since when can't a candidate funnel campaign money to his mistress?? What is this country coming to?!?

That's about the way the MSM would've titled this article if he had been a Republican instead of a matter of the Breck Girl "acknowledging" a "probe".

If he was a Republican, this would be true, but since he's a Dimrat, he must have fallen from grace in the eyes of the Obamassiah, otherwise this wouldn't have been reported....

Must be getting very crowded under Zero's bus....
