6 Big Questions About The Edwards Affair

Find it here




1) Did the affair begin before Hunter began working with the campaign? If nothing was going on, why did Edwards pay a novice $114,000 to shoot a handful of videos for his campaign?

2) If Edwards’ loyalist Andrew Young is really the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby, why did his wife consent to having Hunter living under the same roof?

3) Can anyone seriously believe that John Edwards’ supporter Fred Baron was paying off Rielle Hunter without his knowledge?

4) Did Elizabeth Edwards really know about the affair back in 2006 or is that just a cover story concocted after the fact? If she did know about the affair, why did she allow Rielle to remain on with the campaign after finding out Hunter had been copulating with her husband?

5) If John Edwards didn’t love Rielle Hunter, the baby isn’t his, and the affair has been over since 2006, what was he doing meeting in a hotel with her?

6) Why did Rielle Hunter decide not to take a paternity test when establishing who the “baby daddy” was could be worth an enormous sum in child support? Could it be because she was paid a considerable sum of money NOT to take a paternity test that would show he is the father? Furthermore, if John Edwards really believes the baby isn’t his, why isn’t he demanding a paternity test to put the matter to bed, once and for all?

[...]

ABC had the goods on Edwards and was going to do a damaging piece on the affair. ABC then came to Edwards and gave him an opportunity to do an exclusive interview rather than breaking the story.

Edwards took that opportunity, but felt compelled to lie about a number of things because Elizabeth may not have known the whole truth. So, he either had to go public with a story full of holes or admit to his wife that he was still cheating on her with the woman who’d had his love child.



Inquiring minds want to know. 
I have another question: If he isn't the father, why not prove that with a DNA test? It would clear him, to some extent, and he could probably spin it to make him into a victim here.

It looks like “Mister Clean” is actually a scumbag.

I think a 7th question is in order.

Why, back in February, did the NYT see fit to publish several hit pieces on McCain for an ‘alleged’ liason with a DC lobbyist, based entirely on inuendo, yet not see fit to run with the Edwards tryst, even after he admitted it !!??

The Democratic PARTY BOSSES - The OLD BOYS CLUB - shook down the banking industry and diverted the money to Obama’s campaign.  They wanted a candidate they could control, and that was not Hillary Clinton.  So they fixed the nomination with some help from Edwards.

Now Obama has peaked to early and will mosts likely loose to McCain. 

The smart money would be MCCAIN/CLINTON08
