the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on corruption is basically at a point where the only thing that counts as a bribe is someone handing a public official a giant bag of money with a dollar sign on it while saying “this is a bribe” out loud
Please, Peter, handing your friend a giant bag of money with a dollar sign on it while saying "this is a bribe" is a completely normal thing friends do for each other. We shouldn't assume corrupt intent just because of the facts, the context, and the corrupt intent
