SedanChair posted: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. We disagree on much, I agree on this. I mean seriously, the entire game has evolved to have a veneer of credibility. If you can't at least go through the proper channels, you're a either incredulous, lazy, incompetent, or a combination of those, and not someone who deserves to be in a position of authority.

Rand alPaul posted:Bribery is essentially legal, you simply have to funnel the money through the proper channels, which hilariously is money laundering. But hey, that's legal too! 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.

Jackson Taus posted:Is it actually illegal to bribe someone to endorse? I mean endorsement is a private action, it's not done in any official capacity, right? Heck, many primaries are party-run affairs so there's not even a state-run election involved some of the time (though obviously not this time). The answer is, depends how you do it. A flat out, 'If X then Y' ask is 100% illegal and should be prosecuted. An, 'If X then maybe Y or possibly Z' is legal, as long as it isn't phrased, 'If X then Y, and possibly Z'. Now, the Supreme Court is a bit mixed on whether 'If X then either Y or Z' is legal. I'd expect to that resolved in whether they take up Blago's appeal.
