Hi Everybody, http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20110603/WIRE/110609849/2416/NEWS?p=1&tc=pg
With one of Edwards' former campaign rivals now sitting in the White House, the case contains a measure of political intrigue. While the case was overseen by top Justice Department officials in Washington, it was put together by U.S. Attorney George Holding, a Republican-appointed holdover who stayed on the job to finish the probe at the request of North Carolina's senators. Edwards' rapid rise to the pinnacle of American politics was outmatched only by the speed of his downfall. In his first run for public office, he landed in the Senate. Presidential candidate John Kerry selected him as his running mate in 2004. Hunter was hired to shoot behind-the-scenes video footage of Edwards as he geared up for a second run for the White House. She was paid about $200,000. Edwards, who abandoned his bid in early 2008, initially denied having an affair with Hunter but eventually admitted to it in the summer of 2008. He also denied being the father of her child before finally confessing last year. His wife died of cancer in December. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
