John Edwards' mistress - Breaking on MSNBC - talking to a grand jury in Raleigh NC.
Rielle Hunter is holding the baby. And testifying about the allegation of mis-use of campaign funds.
She was escorted by FBI agents. Edwards says he feel confident that the Grand Jury will find he did nothing wrong.

It cuts and hurts, because we all are so much poorer for his monumental mistake - he could be helping this country if he had not removed himself for the sake of this folly

[Buzz Clik]

1. Ah, geez. Bush and Cheney kill a million or so in Iraq, and Edwards is the one being investigated?

[a kennedy]

4. but, IT has always been about sex.....

look at what they did to Bill Clinton, and really, ARE STILL doing to Bill Clinton.

[bobbolink]

7. In THIS country. Other countries laugh at us for this fixation!

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Ok..let's make it about sex then. Bush fucked Iraq, fucked us, so fuck Bush.

There...now can we please have some prosecution?

[bobbolink]

6. That's right.... totally screwed up priorities!

:(

[depakid]

2. He'd certainly have been a better attorney general than the stinker we have in there now

[KamaAina]

23. Holder's a stinker?

Why, exactly? :shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

3. And yet Republicans get away with this stuff every day.

Ensign especially should be facing a grand jury investigation.

[MADem]

5. They got Capone on Income Tax Evasion.

Why are the rich so cheap?

If he'd just kited his OWN money through an "investment firm" then he wouldn't be having these issues. He'd still be a phony, but he wouldn't be one under investigation for fraud.

Instead, he involves his campaign, makes his subordinates lie for him, he co-mingles funds, uses the campaign to give her money for crappy little home videos.

It's looking more and more likely that, to at least some extent, he got his swerve on using the crappy little twenty buck donations of working class people around that Kitchen Table. Two Americas? Yeah--the America that gives donations to phonies who pretend to champion their interests (he's stopped doing that now, hasn't he?), and the phonies who take the donations and use them to pay some tired old crazy lady they're banging.

Sheesh. I'd love it if Elizabeth found herself miraculously cured, went off for a nice spa treatment, and came back with a good divorce lawyer.

[SoCalDem]

10. Actually Elizabeth's health might be better without the stress from this

Living with this day in and day out, has to take a toll on her.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Perhaps Mrs. Sanford can recommend one.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Was bringing in the Baby truly necessary?

Just asking.

[MADem]

12. Maybe they wanted DNA?

Or maybe she doesn't trust a sitter?

[graywarrior]

9. Meanwhile, Cheney is back in his bat cave whistling dixie

[malaise]

11. Ding ding

and I am expected to pay attention to this meaningless news rather than celebrate Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation. Fugg that.

[graywarrior]

13. Message to the voters: Dems are perverted, sex offending liars.

Imagine, having sex outside the marriage while YOU have no job or healthcare. The gall!

[CakeGrrl]

14. Meanwhile, they did everything they could to protect Gov. Sanford

from overly harsh media criticism. He won't have to step down; the MSM will give him space and people will forget...

[graywarrior]

15. Message 2: If you destroy the country you are A-OK as long as you are a corporate shilling

REPUBLICAN.

[malaise]

19. Yep

Different rules

[malaise]

18. And Ensign

The RNC were even paying his mistress' son. Where's the grand jury for that?

[kimmerspixelated]

16. Heh,heh,heh! Malaise is right!

[Adelante]

17. Why the FBI agents?

[Scurrilous]

22. She took the baby to the Grand Jury hearing?

Idiot.

[kestrel91316]

24. Can somebody explain to me why I should care?

Edwards is a private citizen. I doubt he broke any laws in this whole thing. I smell an ambitious prosecutor.
