NBC News On The John Edwards Scandal

It's amazing to me how little coverage the John Edwards scandal has received in the so-called "mainstream" press over the last 15 months or so. But now they seem to be playing catch-up to "The National Enquirer" on this.

Embedded below is a 3 minute segment about this scandal from NBC's "Today" show. I found this noteworthy in part because of how starkly it paints John Edwards as a serial liar about this. But I thought that it was particularly interesting because it includes brief interviews with two "legal experts" who explain in more detail than I've ever seen before the legal theories that federal prosecutors are apparently using to pursue criminal charges against him.
