Edwards Defiant (Taegan Goddard's Political Wire)

A statement from former White House Counsel Greg Craig, the lawyer for John
Edwards currently negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors, sounds like his
client is going to fight a likely indictment:


"John Edwards has done wrong in his life - and he knows it better than anyone
-- but he did not break the law. The government's theory is wrong on the facts
and wrong on the law. It is novel and untested. There is no civil or criminal
precedent for such a prosecution. The government originally investigated
allegations that Senator Edwards' campaign's funds were misused but continued
its pursuit even after finding that not one penny from the Edwards campaign
was involved. The Justice Department has wasted millions of dollars and
thousands of hours on a matter more appropriately a topic for the Federal
Election Commission to consider, not a criminal court."
