Question by Lois Griffin: At what point is it “donating” and at what point is it “bribery”?
Can you inform a congressman, “If you pass this bill, I promise to donate 200k to your campaign.”

Is that legal donating or illegal bribery?

Bribery even if it’s a dollar.

Now, if you donate the money 1st, and he feels like he owes you a favor, and you mention that you wish X bill would pass, that is not illegal simply because you did not ask for something in return…
