Former senator and presidential candidate John Edwards was indicted Friday on six counts, including making false statements, conspiracy and receiving illegal campaign contributions. The Washington Post reports the indictment was the result of Edwards allegedly using $925,000 in campaign donations he received from two wealthy contributors in order to cover up an affair with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, whom he had also impregnated. Edwards' attempts to conceal his indiscretion in order to protect his 2008 presidential campaign even included one of his former campaign staffers, Andrew Young, publicly claiming to be the father of Hunter's child. In the end, the scheme unraveled and Edwards admitted to his wrongdoing. While Edwards did display a special level of character defect by cheating on his wife Elizabeth, who has since passed away from the cancer she was battling while Edwards was having his affair, there are plenty of other politicians who have violated campaign finance laws. Tom Delay, the former House Majority leader, was convicted in November of 2010 of money laundering related to his efforts to funnel donations made to him by corporations to candidates running for the Texas State Legislature, according to the New York Times. This was in violation of Texas campaign law. Delay had spent the last five years fighting the charges, which led the man known as "The Hammer" to have to resign from Congress back in 2006, when he was arguably one of the most powerful men in government. Delay was sentenced to three years in prison on one charge and 10 years community service on another. He is currently appealing the verdict. In 1996, the Clinton administration was the focus of an extensive investigation in regards to a possible attempt by China to influence the 1996 election. While investigations did uncover that the Democratic National Committee did raise millions of dollars in illegal funds and there were serious issues related to improper use of "soft money," no one in the high levels of the administration was found guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, according to a Washington Post special report. Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is probably the poster child for campaign finance indiscretion. He infamously was caught on an FBI wiretap saying "I've got this thing and it's f---ing golden" and "I am not just giving it up for nothing" in reference to the open Illinois Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama, reports MSNBC. An investigation into Blagojevich's activities uncovered him attempting to solicit large campaign donations for the Senate seat. He also attempted to receive -- and did receive -- large campaign donations for the passage of certain pieces of legislation in the state, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Blagojevich proved himself to be a prodigious law breaker, racking up approximately 24 different charges related to corruption. He is currently being re-tried after his first trial ended with a hung jury on 23 of the 24 charges. There are currently numerous other politicians being investigated for campaign finance violations, so Edwards will likely only be the junior member of this infamous club for a short period of time. |
