@peter A GOP politician actually did this once at a news conference right before he was about to be sentenced for bribery. He'd given a large no-bid contract to a california company in exchange for a $300k kickback and possible sexual favors from company employees.
@peter In completely unrelated news, beyond Dershowitz's past deep association with Epstein, it recently came to light that JP Morgan flagged a bunch of financial transactions relating to Dershowitz as possibly indicative of human trafficking.
It seems likely that the Epstein files gets released at some point. If we have indications of a blue wave in favor of strongly liberal candidates, its possible Deshowitz (a lawyer) ends up prosecuted in the future.
