Finally, the US DOJ has found its long lost nerve. Today they announced that they will move ahead with criminal charges against former Sen. John Edwards for misuse of campaign funds related to his affair. Well that's great, and now I can sleep easier at night knowing that this monster has been brought to heel, and that all is well with the Republic once again.
Holder's DOJ has ignored many toxic, obvious and some instances, admitted crimes perpetrated by members of the former administration, including torture, illegal wiretapping, the outing of an undercover CIA agent, going to war under false pretenses, and the utter destruction of our financial system. But none of that is important enough to actually investigate.
An affair, though! And misuse of campaign funds? Now we're talking.
