Wanna bet, nothing like Watergate will prevail from this. It will be swept under the rug.

The purpose isn't so much to go after Joe the Plumber.  The purpose is to put those of the rest of us who might "inadvertently" ask unbecoming questions of The Øne, on notice: "This could happen to you, too."
