Neopolotano on Fox made the point that, if Felt accepts money from Woodward, it is the consummation of a bribe. He made the point that Felt, as a government official, engaged in an illegal act. Of course, it is well beyond any statute of limitations. But,when money is paid, that is the second part of the bribe, and the crime is current, dating from the time of the payment. I hope the money exchanges hands ( though of course, unfortuneatly, no legal action will ever follow)--at least, it can be called a bribe.
