Edwards’ lawyer: ‘Shocked’ to Learn of Affair!

Now we all have heard that lawyers are many thing, most of them true and now we know some of them are really dumb too! How would have thunk?

In an interview with Texas Lawyer’s Tex Parte Blog, John Edwards lawyer, Fred Baron says he was “shocked” to learn of the low life Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter! Wow, would you want this guy as your lawyer. Wonder who pulled his head out of his arse? I think most people would have had some inkling of hanky-panky that he was spending huge sums of money every month for and old friend “friends”! How many people would move a friends friends all around the country and never ask questions. AND, pay the bills out of your own pocket! I mean, wouldn’t you want to know WHO these people were to Edwards?

Who's your daddy?

“Baron says that in late 2007 he helped Hunter, former Edwards campaign worker Andrew Young, Young’s wife and the Youngs’ three children relocate to California from North Carolina, because they were being hounded by tabloid reporters and paparazzi. “It was just a horrible, horrible situation,” Baron says. “I paid for them to relocate to another home in another state.” Baron says he paid for several months of rent on a house in Santa Barbara, Calif., out of his own pocket and didn’t inform Edwards. “I never discussed it with John. He was on the campaign trail in Iowa at the time,” Baron says. Baron declines to say how much he spent in rent for the house but says reports that he paid $15,000 a month are not true. Baron notes that Hunter and Andrew Young were not employed by the Edwards campaign at the time he helped them move. Young has said he is the father of Hunter’s child. Baron says he did not learn of Edwards’ affair with Hunter until about two or three weeks ago, when Edwards told him and some other friends. “I was shocked,” Baron says.”
