as I was asking earlier in the week, would this snag Benton... the answer, yes!

Mitch McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton, resigns
By ELIZABETH TITUS | 8/29/14 6:53 PM

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, announced his resignation late Friday, citing potential distractions over a recent guilty plea stemming from a controversy in the Iowa 2012 caucuses.

A longtime associate of Ron Paul and his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Benton was the surprise choice to run the McConnell campaign in Sept. 2012 — even before the current election cycle began. Benton’s departure comes days after a former Iowa GOP state lawmaker pleaded guilty to charges of accepting money to change his endorsement in 2012 from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul. Benton was the chairman of Paul’s 2012 campaign. He has not been accused of wrongdoing in the case.

Keep in mind Jesse Benton, manager of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's reelection campaign, is also involved it this.

Ron Paul Got Caught Bribing And Stealing Michele Bachmann’s Presidential Campaign Co-Chair

It is a wonderful story of intrigue and drama. So what how much did Kent Sorenson (42), former Iowa state senator get for selling his soul to the devil? $73,000. I wonder if the guy thinks that money was worth up to 25 years in jail?

.....
The question remains: will the bribes be ongoing, and will they cast a shadow upon Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ken.) plans to take the Senate?
