So you think that having a slew of money coming to you while you are out of power right before an election you are expected to win means that that isn't explicit corruption?

I have this really nice building for sale in New York that I have to sell for a really steep discount. Send me the money and we can meet up and I'll sign it over to you. My loss is your gain.

Seriously, this is the stupidest attempt to justify corruption I've ever seen.

You're making my point for me.

Not every response here is an attack.
