So is this thing going to blow up for Obama? Is his staff going to be indited for offering jobs to donors and candidates? These are felonies...

Or because we have a Democratic Congress none of this will be investigated?

Well, he tried to ignore it at first. Then it gathered steam. We'll see....

They will be forced to investigate it somewhat, but as little as they can get away with. This is pretty significant, but the mainstream news will try to ignore it, just as they do with everything that might hurt Obama.

Transparency.

Or not.

Someone is sabotaging the Obama Administration from within?

Giving somebody incentive to drop out of a race isn't illegal IIRC. Happens all the time in politics.

Maybe not deliberate but still possible ...

Money is a strong incentive and doesn't require a tinfoil hat ...

Never ignore it, as Tiger found out the hard way. Deal with it ASAP, and contain it... if possible.
