John Edwards is a creep, not a criminal

16. One has to wonder how isolated Edwards' "blackmail potential" really is.

The use of foreign slush funds for political influence operations is an established fact, yet the US and UK political and justice systems are manifestly unequipped to deal with the problem. Look at how the BAE/Yamamah slush fund case has been virtually ignored. Fox News is the creature of the Saudis through their controlling interest in NewsCorp. Yet, nobody in the msm every mentions the fact.

When law enforcement is finally forced to do something because NewsCorp has been blatently turned into a political dirty tricks and illegal political intelligence collection agency, spying on everyone from pop stars to the Royal Family, Scotland Yard assigns all of 15 detectives. How many FBI Special Agents - not as many, likely. Contrast that with what DoJ has treated the Edwards case.

In 1982, when it came out that a Boy Prostitution ring was being run out of the Reagan-Bush White House. how many US newspapers covered that? One - The Wash Times, because Korean elites and ROK Intelligence had a beef with Bush. Talk about blackmail potential! But, that got snuffed quickly, literally.

At the same time that the Bush powdered nose wing of the Agency was making a fortune through the Mena connection as the crack epidemic was taking off, and China made its big play into the US market through the Stephens firm, who was being cultivated (and forever compromised) at the Governor's Mansion? Yes, more careers being made.

Corruption isn't even the word for it.
