It's only bribery if you do it in front of a notary, shake hands with the special bribery handshake, and recite the words "this bribe of current market value $5000 or more is for a corrupt action you otherwise would not perform" and the official responds "thank you for your bribe for my corrupt act"

When you see a character say this exact speech in LEVERAGE:REDEMPTION next season please know it was written and shot two months ago, and we are not stealing it from you. Just want to avoid hard feelings.

it has to be an official act, you left that part off. Also the check has to clear before the official act happens.

It's only bribery if you're taking money and rich gifts in exchange for your opinions... Oh, sorry, this joke is, like, five years old. Not even a joke any more. Well, I'll make a fresh joke. No, wait, I don't have one in me. Huh.

And even then it’s not a bribe if the check doesn’t clear until after the action.

I know it's not exactly the same, but I feel like we already accepted this when nothing was done about "take rooms in Trump's DC hotel for weeks at a % above the already high rates and we'll let the big guy know" for diplomats courting favor.

So with the latest update, it seems like you can agree beforehand, so long as the payment is after the act?

How is a reasonable person to know it’s bribery unless the man with the money wears a top hat and bowtie and comes floating into the room on an umbrella?
