Post #248 Government Run Amok!

Personally, I would like to see John Edwards hounded to his unmarked grave. But the news that federal prosecutors have issued new subpoenas in their probe of former Senator Edwards' 2008 Presidential campaign finances gives me pause.

What was the crime? I bet the grand jury that has been investigating for over a year is wondering the same thing.

Yes, it disgusts me to think that Edwards paid 'hush money' out of his campaign funds to cover up his affair with that "freak," Rielle Hunter -- to use Edwards' own word. But guess what? Um, 'hush money' IS political and thusly an appropriate use of campaign funds.

I think what we have is an out-of-control prosecutor who will continue to abuse his governmental office until he gets something to stick.
