Again, I'm not sure what the crime here is. There was a guy saying some crazy, awful stuff and he was connected to Obama. So his staff offered the guy some cash to shut up and he didn't.
There's nothing illegal about offering someone money to not talk about something. It is, in fact, quite common; NDAs are a good example of this. In this case, sure, it's skeezy, but no law was violated, and no rights were infringed.
