Flashback: Obama Offered $150,000 Bribe to Silence Crackpot Preacher Jeremiah Wright – No Charges Were Filed
The Mueller Special Counsel and New York District Attorney’s Office seek to destroy President Trump for paying out $130,000 in hush money to two former paramours.
Barack Obama also offered hush money to a close associate before the 2008 election. Barack Obama’s crackpot anti-Semitic and anti-American pastor caused a stir in the summer of 2008 after video was released of the pastor screaming, “Goddam America” from his church pulpit. Obama’s “closest friends” sent Reverend Wright an email offering him $150,000 in hush money to go silent before the election. And he did.

How about our Congresscritters and that secret sluch fund to pay off victims of sexual misconduct by our elected officials??
Why isn't heads rolling for that?

I dont see how offering someone hush money is a crime unless you are paying them to lie under oath or to cover up a crime.
Where the hush money came from could be an issue though.

Exactly what is the "Obama crime" you are alleging? What Wright claimed was that a friend of Obama, via an intermediary (a member of Wright's congregation) offered him $150k to not do any public speaking until after the election.
Assuming that the person who approached Wright was on the level, there's no proof that Obama or anyone in his campaign knew anything about it. More importantly, no money was ever exchanged so there's no possibility of a violation.
