National Enquirer: Grand Jury "Ready" to Indict John Edwards?
— Ace

I don't know what "ready to" means, or how the National Enquirer would know such a thing with any level of certainty. I mean, sure, I suppose they can get a grand juror or two to illegally leak the jury's mood, I suppose. But that's just the report of a guy or two about what he thinks the other jurors are thinking.

Of course, their reporting is almost always right.

The ultimate fall from grace, a Federal grand jury is about to indict John Edwards, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

In another shocker, close sources say Edwards' estranged wife Elizabeth could help send the former presidential candidate to jail!

Edwards, the disgraced two-time Presidential loser, is being investigated by the feds, including the FBI and IRS, for possible campaign violations related to paying his mistress Rielle Hunter.

The grand jury has been meeting since April 2009, and insiders say an indictment is imminent.

"John is terrified that he's going to be indicted," a friend told The ENQUIRER

Via the Centrist Net.

(Ok, fine)

So John Edwards walks into his new cell to meet his cell mate Bubba.  John had heard all about what happens in these prisons, so he was Rielle scared.  Bubba roused from his nap, sees his new cellmate.

Bubba:  Hmmm., you're John, huh?
Edwards:  Ummm, yes sir.
B:  Well, I will give you a choice just like I give all my new roomies a choice.  You can either be my husband, or my wife.

John thinks about it for a little bit.  If I'm the wife, that means I'll be taking it from Bubba.  If I'm the husband, I'll be giving it to him.  If I close my eyes, I can imagine it's a girl, and that won't be too bad.

E:  Ok Bubba sir, I will be the husband.
B:  Fine with me.  Now come over here and suck your wife's dick.

39 thanks for the link to my site CentristNet, Ace. I appreciate it.  Please take a look folks....

here's my key take:

Should Edwards be convicted of the alleged criminal violations, Edwards would become the first Presidential or Vice Presidential nominee of either the Democrats or Republicans to serve jail time in modern American history, if ever.

However, on a more serious note, is it possible that Edwards might have been rumored to be considering a run for the presidency in 2012?  Well, now that is off the table isn't it?   Gee, now who else among the challengers who didn't join the administration should we be watching?

Oh and what this SEIU guy said, in audio from Beck, is downright scary.  He wants a return on his "political investment in the pres".   Wow...

I'll betcha, betcha, betcha that the inclusion of Elizabeth Edwards name in that report means that she's the one who clued the Enquirer in to this story.

Since Reille's the one who clued them in to the baby daddy story, isn't turnabout fair play?   Gotta hand it to John - he sure does know how to pick 'em. 

And I would say this is just big talk from Elizabeth - but she's just the right combination of crazy and nasty and smart to have kept copies of all kinds of financial documents from the campaign.   Probably put them together for the pending divorce.  Combine a Grand Jury, financial records, and a Mad Woman and you get the perfect shitstorm for the perfect silky pony boy. 

Reminds me of that old Chris Rock video, "How to get your ass kicked by the cops."  One of the ways is just to be around the cops and the Mad Woman at the same time.   You don't have to do nothin' at all, the Mad Woman is gonna make SURE that you get your ass kicked one way or the other.

Well, actually there's like 4:  The two aforementioned, the one where Edwards is effing his skankho mistress, and the one where Edwards (had he been elected Pres or VP) or appointed AG would be effing America.  It's funny, but I watched Oprah a few days ago when she had Andrew Young on.  And she was pissed off at John Edwards--I think Teh Bamster was contemplating appointing Edwards to something (although that Game Change book denies it), and Oprah was pissed because her "clean as the driven snow" boy would have been tainted by association--it was probably that close.

It really would be cool if this jerkwad actually had to do some time (although I don't think it will be likely--what with all the children and mother dying of cancer and all).  I don't think he'd do well in prison, even the "country club" one he would end up going to if sentenced.  He is a man who has lived a soft, cushy life.

102 dagny--

In early April 2007, Edwards was informed that her cancer may be treatable with anti-estrogen drugs. "I consider that a good sign. It means there are more medications to which I can expect to be responsive," she told the Associated Press during a campaign stop with her husband in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.[22]

Posted by: SantaRosaStan at March 03, 2010 01:45 PM (JrRME)

103 A grand jury is a blind animal.  It does not act proactively.  It answers requests from the United States Attorney's Office for a True Bill (indictment). The USAO calls the shots.  The Grand Jury would not have any idea what the USAO's intentions are (time wise).  If there is a leak, it is from the USAO or the FBI (equally likely).

Well, OK, if you insist...you're a bitch. But that must make me one, too, because I had the same thought.

109 apparently, Elizabeth has the same oncologist as the Lockerbie Bombing Libyan. He was supposed to be dead by now as well. At least he's not bitter

110 The kind of rage that Elizabeth is carrying wouldn't be good for someone in good health.  For her kids' sake, I hope she can get past it and be a mom.  I mean, it's not like she's struggling to make ends meet.  At any rate, I feel for the Edwards kids.  Dad's a lying, cheating narcissist and mom's bat shit crazy.

111 According to Wikipedia it is pronounced ree-ell; but I'll always pronounce it "the scag who took down the pretty boy."

I guess I have a funny accent.

Alternate pronunciation - "skank princess".

112 Soap Opera Cancer....that's priceless.

On that same note, in her previous bout with the Big C, did anyone photograph her when she was going through chemo/radiation? Assuming she had either of those treatments, the hair loss thing would have been obvious.

Hell, look at Carly Fiorina right now. Or Arlen Specter a few years back, just to name a couple of examples.

John Edwards?

Never heard of him.....

Posted by: Charlie Gibson at March 03, 2010 02:05 PM (waiSQ)

114

Oh, THAT John Edwards?

The John Edwards who ran for VP with Kerry and then mounted a presidential run four years later stressing what a great family man he was and how his wife's terminal cancer and dead son were reasons to suppport his candidacy?

The John Edwards who lived in a 28,000 sq ft house built on the proceeds of specious malpractice lawsuitsthat chased virtually every OB/GYN out of the state? 

The John Edwards who knocked up his mistress, repeatedly denied paternity and disowned his love-child to the point of paying an aide to falsely claim fathering the baby?  

Nope, never heard of him....

Posted by: Charlie Gibson at March 03, 2010 02:12 PM (waiSQ)

115

It's a bit of a giggle to think about how so many folks are going to be amazed that this guy, who they were sure only wanted to be Their Personal Saviour, is suddenly charged with a Federal crime.  When you choose to live behind the media filter, life can be confusing that way.

Well, it helps to be stupid, too.

116 Don't make the mistake of questioning the the integrity of The National Enquirer. My aunt's neighbor's niece's mailman's uncle tipped them off about his boss's daughter's friend's personal Elvis sighting, so I know what I'm talking about.

Posted by: Antimatter at March 03, 2010 02:19 PM (gbCNS)

117 Did John Edwards actually hit Elizabeth, or was that rumour proved unfounded?

If so, please disregard. If not, a charge for that wouldn't bother me a bit. And I'd say the same thing if it was anyone, left or right, doing that.

119 I know this sounds really horrible and harsh but is Elizabeth really dying of cancer. I keep getting this lockerbee bombing feeling. Could the seriousness of her disease have been exaggerated for his political benefit? Go ahead, tell me I'm a bitch but I agreed that it was an evil thought

Posted by: dagny at March 03, 2010 05:32 PM (g6POu)

I've never believed her for a second.  She's been as big a conniving scrunt as Muffer Stalin-Rodham and was probably diagnosed by one of Silky's "expert witnesses" who will tart things up for a dumbfuck jury; or in this case the MSM.

 I would like to find a record of Dems vs R's of Mayor's, Governors, Senators and Representatives that have gone to prison.  I think it would make interesting reading.  I googled it but couldn't find one.  Might be an interesting research project for someone with the know how.  (Followed by obligatory)  Just Sayin.

123 The Enquirer broke the original story didn't it?

I wouldn't discount them because they're the Enquirer. It seems that the stories that come from them regarding highly public figures have been accurate too many times.

They'll pick up the 'news' that other papers won't (or actively attempt to bury a'la the NYT or WaPost.

That there's the come shot.

125 If Edwards is indicted, look for a sudden MSM fascination with Spiro Agnew.

Posted by: PersonFromPorlock at March 03, 2010 03:39 PM (BbTsC)

126 His mistress:  Rielle Hunter, pronounced Ry-lee.

I used to think I was so smart because I knew that it was pronounced Ry-lee, but I saw a clip of her saying Ree-elle. Although it wouldn't surprise me if the pronunciation of it evolved. She's a highly evolved spirit after all.

"National Enquirer: Grand Jury "Ready" to Indict John Edwards?"

 

 

So how about getting me some of that insurance and lawyer money back so I can open my damn business again???

Posted by: Another out of business NC ob-gyn doc at March 03, 2010 03:53 PM (bFukt)

130

Are we sure that Rielle isn't a Railian?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Posted by: torabora at March 03, 2010 03:55 PM (U4QtB)

131

I don't know what "ready to" means, or how the National Enquirer would know such a thing with any level of certainty. I mean, sure, I suppose they can get a grand juror or two to illegally leak the jury's mood, I suppose. But that's just the report of a guy or two about what he thinks the other jurors are thinking.

This is too precious by half.  The grand jury will indict whoever the DA leads them to indict.  And it's not like prosecutorial leaks are unprecedented or anything.  Occam's razor, morons.

I heard it a little different, but hopefully Edwards will experience it one way or the other...IYKWIMAITYD

 

Bubba:  OK Johnny lawyer-man...do you wants to be the Poppa or the Momma?

 

John Edwards:  Oh I'll be the Poppa.

 

Bubba:  OK Poppa, come on over here and suck on Momma's dick.

My husband, John, screwed around with a skank and has a kid by her.  Any thoughts?

Liz...you are going to have some fun. First prep them with a screaming match while spraying them with gasoline. Then shoot them with a light load of rock salt in your shotgun. While they are screaming set them on fire.

Easy peasy.
