In October, John Edwards is supposed to face federal charges of campaign finance violations related to cash used to keep his mistress hidden away while he was running for president. Now he’s seeking to more time to prepare. According to this story, daughter Cate is getting married in October and Edwards says he won’t have time to prepare for the trial and take care of his children. As I’ve blogged previously, I’ll be surprised if prosecutors win this case. Edwards’ sleaziness and blatant and repeated lying make my stomach turn. But is it criminal? No.
