much easier to “go fund me” bribes today.
we’ve evolved from the days of johnny chung & Charlie trie with grocery bags full of cashier checks and money orders packed into the oral office to bubba.
After Chung’s bags of loot we had the sham book deals.
A ghost writer writes a lousy book for a candidate which is listed at $34 each and instantly 1,000 copies are bought by a ‘friend.’
That’s $340,000. The books are then dumped at the dollar store or shipped to Haiti, Africa for a tax write-off or dumped in the garbage bin. AlGore’s book was the first ‘shambook’ I saw at the Dollar Store.
Or they give speeches at $10,000 per minute.
