It was a congressional staffer, who probably wouldn't have been a commission staffer.

Opps. Sorry. Yes, That's what I meant.
It sounds like a threat, doesn't it?

In the article, I believe the Congressional staffer was reponding to the reports question of "Why didn't this Able member speak up earlier". The Staffer was implying that if the Able member did, it may affect his career negatively. The staffer was not threatening the person, he was actually answering for him.

Not really. I tend to agree with the post following yours that the staffer was answering for him rather than threatening him.
