We already had bribery in politics, the media just doesn't talk about it like they do with Trump and other particularly egregious 'fall guys' like Clarence Thomas.

I know that we have it, but I also know that I don't want it. Besides that there's a difference between 5,000 in an interest group cash bribe and a 400 million plane.

Edit: Sorry, I was referring to the wrong bribe. I meant the Trump Tower that will probably cost an awful lot as well.

Does the amount really matter if the effect is the same?
