I haven’t looked into it but isn’t the problem that bribing and corruption, as we general think of it, is not common anymore. They’ve gotten creative.
They don’t hand you cash. they form super PACs that are legislative black holes so “people that align with you politically” can use that money to help you run, or your family member is hired as a VP in a company where they do nothing but get millions in stock options.
