On June 09, 2011, Steve Chapman reported the following in the Chicago Tribune:
John Edwards is a vain, lying skunk who cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer. But one thing far worse than his contemptible conduct is the government's effort to put him in jail for it.
In this case, prosecutors are exploiting a vague, confusing law to criminalize conduct that has not been treated as a crime before. The only good news is that its prosecution is so ill-founded and over the top that it is likely to fail.
Sources say that Chapman was wrong about the prosecution failing. It is reported that John Edwards will be required to pay $2.3 million to the U. S. Treasury for understating his campaign's revenues and overstating the expenses. The FEC ruled that he received $2.1 million more than he should have from the government. and $141,000 for "stale dated checks".
And yes, Edwards is a vain, lying skunk who cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer.
