    So let me get this straight, it’s not bribery because they had written contracts and it was afterwards? So if I let an official make investments into my company on behalf of me and I gave him money for it, it’s only a problem if I gave him money before or I had no contract to show for it.

    That is such a bonkers distinction I really wanna see how the fuck they define if the contract for the legal bribery is sufficient or not. Does it need a stamp? What the fuck

      Arguably it’s networking though it bears a fun similarity to the right losing its shit over bidens son getting a job he probably didn’t deserve like every other rich kid on the planet.
