But if they act like there's no scandal the media would not bother. I don't think they will go after Sanders though. He's not a threat like Pelosi. He criticizes Dems and they regurgitate those criticisms. They appear to like him just fine. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't think they'll go after him on this. They'd be hyping it already.
