Bribery is still illegal. But it’s not a “bribe” unless it’s paid directly to the politician in exchange for something specific (quid pro quo). So you just need to obfuscate that deal enough so that you can’t prove it’s a bribe, in the legal sense. (SuperPACs, etc).

    Tbf yes, that's what I meant. The legal form of bribery, shouldn't be.

    99% of a lawyers job is to find loopholes in the law.
