Reply #31: "trash" included passport, a notebook of receipts & bills, credit card statements

[unc70]

Financial records (bills, receipts), bank and credit card statements, and passports stored in the same box -- does that look like trash to anyone here. My guess is that a series of previous informal requests for return of these items had been met with delay and denial by Young instead of producing the items.

Depending on the nature of Hunter's financial and other records, they could have been of great value to Young while writing his book, and to presecutors investigating possible wrong-doings, Not having access could have been a problem for Hunter in documenting or remembering details and dates of events and financial transactions, particularly when testifying before the Federal grand jury and Bush-holdover GOP prosecutor.

Young himself has stated that campaign funds were not used to support the affair, but were personal gifts to Edwards outside the campaign from a couple of wealth donors.
