They very definitely can be charged with talking bribes. The problem is how do your define a bribe. Giving a senator (or representative) an envelope stuffed with cash is a bribe. Contributing money to his electoral campaign is not. Paying for a fact finding mission to Las Vegas. letting him borrow your private jet, etc. is iffy.

Any gov official can be charged with taking bribes. Just need to evidence and it to hold up in court. Which is hard to do. Most of the gov is corrupt starting with the head honcho. Dirty gov officials since the begining of Democoracy.

They can if they are taking bribes from lobbyists. it has happened before. Do you have specific evidence of wrong doing? Or are you just assuming and stirring the pot?

it relatively is a stable question,.. and that i've got often concept alongside the comparable strains,. yet once I do think of alongside those strains i ask myself "why could I could pay somebody to not be corrupt'? If i pay them greater does that mean they are going to be much less corrupt?,.. in my view,..lobbying could be prohibited...exceedingly the place a senator, or the different Elected genuine ought to stand to earnings some financial benefits by skill of taking kickbacks or marketing campaign donations.,that is carefully problematical for a representative Governing device to be monopolized by skill of super money individuals. Even communities with political clout should not be allowed to post modifications to regulations to greater beneficial their particular agendas,. The shape grow to be based on the "by skill of the human beings, for the human beings". thought and not the "by skill of the money, For the money".,theory. this finished Lobbying question shouldn't in any respect have been allowed in the 1st place,..there's a greater beneficial way...its spoke of as balloting...the final time i regarded...a Democracy grow to be meant to be ruled by skill of Majority vote,...and not by skill of offered and paid for Politicians. i'm hoping this facilitates.
