Defense lawyer will not help Edwards at trial
A key member of the legal team defending John Edwards will not represent the former presidential candidate at his upcoming campaign finance trial following questions about a potential conflict of interest. Wade Smith is to withdraw from the team because prosecutors questioned whether Smith had a conflict of interest due to a 2009 conversation with a financial advisor for Bunny Mellon, a wealthy socialite who provided the bulk of nearly $1 million used to support Edwards' pregnant mistress as he ran for president in 2007. According to the government, Smith told Mellon's advisor Edwards knew the money was intended to help him. That appears to conflict with statements by Edwards that he knew nothing of the payments
Really!! John Edwards is a piece of trash in my book. Here he is a few years ago running for president, and cheating on his wife who is a victim of cancer. He apparently had people giving him money and they were taking care of his mistress. I may not all the whole story but I know enough to know that he deserves what he gets.
I couldn’t imagine my husband cheating on me little alone taking care of her and then she gets pregnant in the process. I’d take everything he has and then some. I’d even take the other woman to court and it I couldn’t sue her, I’d make her wish she never met my husband. But John Edwards’s real wife didn’t have the chance to do this. She was sick and she didn’t live long enough. He should really be ashamed of himself.
It’s too bad that the other woman didn’t wait until John Edwards wife passed on. What was this woman thinking anyway? She shouldn’t have ever gotten involved with a married man to start with. She also should be ashamed of herself too. I would love to know what she says the reasoning behind this selfish act. It’s not like she didn’t know he was married. John Edwards was in the US Senate and he was well known. They both deserve what they get from Karma and I don’t think it could happen soon enough.
