More Troubles For John Edwards

Oh, wait, it's that other guy. The one who actually holds elected office.

Subpoenas have been issued to at least six Las Vegas businesses. The Justice Department came to Las Vegas to interview several prominent business and political figures in what appears to be a wide-ranging and deadly-serious criminal probe.
