    Everything you said about Edwards was wrong. Rielle Hunter was NOT a campaign worker and he did NOT spend campaign money on her. One of his wealthy FRIENDS paid Hunter out of that friend’s own bank account, and because that friend was also a donor to Edwards’ campaign, the government tried to claim that the PERSONAL MONEY that friend gave Hunter was campaign money. It’s ridiculous on its face, which is why the case ultimately didn’t go anywhere, and only helped to destroy Edwards’ reputation and political career. Had he done what you said he would’ve gone to prison.

Dwyer held a press conference claiming innocence. The press believed he would be resigning from office, however, he then pulled out a revolver and killed himself on live television.
