Qublai Qhan posted:I kind of don't care about this. I'm not really sure if I should, but it seems to me that politicians bribe each other for influence all the time. The fact that this was done blatantly with a pile o' cash instead of for some sort of favor points (redeemable for a job or future support) seems to make this slightly more honest rather than less so. Sure if we could get rid of all of the influence trading I'd also have a problem with this but if the only idea here is that 'well, he did something illegal and we can nail him so we're going to' I'm not sure I really care. I'm not saying don't move forward on the prosecutions, because I don't really have any sympathy here either, but it does seem kind of pointless. You're personally all evil in the world. Our system is gamed to the point where most corruption is legal. Finally somebody comes out and does something actionable and you pipe up just to groan out "I can't be bothered." Don't be bothered to post then, or to breathe.

My Imaginary GF posted:You can still use a briefcase full of cash, as long as you keep a record of the serial numbers of the bills and attribute them as received in quantities under $200. If you're going to deliver a suitcase of cash to a bank for deposit, keep detailed records of the precisely legal route through which the precise bills were received. Wow, you appear super familiar with that information
