When money is speech, bribery is just eloquence
RE: When money is speech, bribery is just eloquence

Oh, hey - something I can understand about US politics!

Wrap your head around this bit of Canadiana: In 2013, Nigel Wright (at the time, Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister's Office) wrote a personal check to pay ~$90k of expenses claimed by Mike Duffy (at the time, a Senator). Duffy was charged with taking a bribe and was later acquitted. Wright was not charged with offering a bribe. Wikipedia has details.

Given that, what you've got going here is eminently understandable.
