I guess it's time to revisit history:
In a June 2024 ruling, the Supreme Court clarified that a federal bribery law, 18 U.S.C. § 666, does not criminalize "gratuities" given to state and local officials after an official action, according to the American Bar Association. The court's decision, in Snyder v. United States, focused on distinguishing between bribes, which are payments made before an official act to influence it, and gratuities, which are payments made after the action as a form of thanks or reward. The ruling effectively narrowed the scope of Section 666, which was often used by federal prosecutors to pursue corruption cases against state and local officials.
This means if the bribe comes after the awarded act then it isn't a bribe but a tip therefore, these people are looking to get their "tips" tax free. Who would have thunk it?
