Levine claims the huge sum they've spent on this story is only a spit to "the enormous amounts we know Edwards is spending to keep it contained. But he can't. We've followed the money trail. He bought her [Rielle Hunter] a $1 million house in North Carolina. Few days before our headlines forced him to go public, he spent $150,000 just on a private plane to whisk her to some undisclosed place. She was moved in the middle of the night. Lots of money is being spent to keep her happy and away from the media.
"We have exclusive photographic evidence, pictures, videos, hard proof to further incriminate Edwards. He doesn't at this point know what we have, which is why I'm asking that we don't reveal too much yet. And which we will use unless and until he acknowledges paternity.
"She believes they'll be together in future because Elizabeth's health concerns make it just a matter of time. Whatever he's said, in her mind the clock is running. We know this..."
Call me a cynic. She's shaking down the Enquirer when she couldn't shake him down.
The New York Times tries to shore up its circulation with a similar story.
The funny thing is very little of the media have talked about John McCain's first marriage, where not only did he screw around on his health-impaired wife, he dumped her for a far younger, far richer woman.
For the record, "Rielle Hunter" is not the name she was born with. Her real name is Lisa Jo Druck, and her family background is highly distinguished:
Her father, the late James Druck, once paid a hit man to kill her prize horse, Henry the Hawk, by rigging wires to electrocute the animal by attaching electrical wires to its ear and rectum, according to an account told to Sports Illustrated in 1992 by horse killer Tommy Burns.
Druck had taken out a $150,000 insurance policy on the animal and was hoping to reap the benefits, Burns told the magazine.
Her dad was a really good guy, no doubt about it. Lucky guy, for he died before he could be prosecuted for animal torture and insurance fraud. He knew how to extort money until he was caught.
And what about Lisa/Rielle?
She was heavily into the partying lifestyle. Then she married some guy named Hunter in 1991, who also came from a distinguished family, only this time from the other side of the law. His dad prosecuted--if you can call it that--the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case.
Hunter wrote scripts which appeared to be of a New Age bent or something, and then legally changed her first name to "Rielle."
