["We think using influence is not a bribe,"]

Bribery (n):
Bribery is the practice by which a person who can take decision or action on behalf of others by virtue of his authority or position is influenced by paying or offering monetary benefits for influencing him to take an action or decision which he would not have done otherwise. Eg. Offering money to the police officer to record a wrong verification report.

Nice try attorneys, but accepting cash as payment for using your influence IS bribery, and a crime.

As another poster pointed out: it’s from the same school of thought that gave us the great line - “it depends upon what your definition of “is”, is.

What I want to know is, why is taking so long for this scumbag to go to trial? It’s been over two years.
