I really don't care how Edwards was keeping his mistress or how the funds were laundered.
He was once the golden-boy of the DNC, Kerry's running-mate for 2004 and candidate for the 2008 primary. (although it was already determined 0bozo would get the nod)
How quickly they wished he would just disappear after it was revealed he had a pregnant squeeze on the side, all while his wife was literally dying from cancer. He lied, tried to cover his tracks, but finally admitted he was a low-life POS.
This case HAD to go away for the Dem's, regardless of how much arm-twisting it took. They got the verdict they were looking for, which neither finds him innocent or proves guilt, yet put the matter in the hands of the corrupt, racist bastard, Eric Holder to wish Edwards into the cornfield, never to be heard from again.
Its official: Federal charges against John Edwards dropped. What do you think?

RALEIGH, N.C. June 14, 2012 (AP)
A relieved John Edwards said after his mistrial on campaign corruption
charges that he believed good things were still in store for him, though
image makers and his friends agree that does not include politics.
The ex-presidential candidate who turned 59 this week will no longer
have to face that future with federal charges hanging over his head
after prosecutors on Wednesday dropped their campaign fraud case against
him. After a six-week trial in North Carolina, jurors acquitted Edwards
May 31 on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions and
deadlocked on five other felony counts. The judge declared a mistrial.
The U.S. Justice Department said in a court order that it will not seek
to retry Edwards on the five unresolved counts, leaving some to say the
charges shouldn't have been brought in the first place.

And the case was based on subjective interpertation of vague campaign finance laws.
