NBC: Edwards Indictment May be Soon
NBC News, on Wednesday's Today show, reported that federal investigators are about to wrap up their case against former Senator John Edwards and their sources report that he will be indicted, in a matter of days or weeks, for campaign fund fraud in attempts to cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter.
NBC reports that a final review is being conducted before the federal prosecutor seeks Justice Department approval to indict. Wade Smith, Edwards’ attorney, has repeatedly said he doesn’t think his client has done anything wrong…unless, of course, you call having an extra-marital affair and spending huge sums of money, some of which was campaign money, wrong.
Joe Sinsheimer, North Carolina’s go-to political watchdog, was quoted in the NBC story as saying, “We already know that John Edwards acted badly. We already know that he lied to his supporters. We know he lied to his family and wife. The only remaining question: Were John Edwards’ activities criminal or not?”
More than a dozen witnesses have been called to testify before the Grand Jury in Raleigh, including, in the past few days, Edwards himself. We are told that investigators wish to visit Bunny Mellon, the 100 year old heiress, to record her testimony for possible use in a trial. Read the full NBC story.

Sooner or later the trouble you brew today, you will drink tomorrow. Former Senator Edwards should have known that!

This is a sad case of selfishness in the extreme. Corruption at all levels of government should not, and cannot, be ignored any longer, no matter the outcome. I would like to wish the Edwards children the best in future years. They did not deserve their father's behavior. Many good people should not suffer the bad deeds of the few.
