How much has he given to their campaigns?

That was an actual post on responding to why the Super Delegates are not supporting the votes of the people!

This is actual "quid pro quo", the current legal definition of bribery...
Quid pro quo ("something for something" or "this for that" in Latin) means an exchange of goods or services, where one transfer is contingent upon the other.

Is our party this corrupt that we openly cite rules for how our party works that are breaking the laws?

The poster also added...

Bribing a public official is illegal. Bribing a party official is not.

That vote is in a private organization.


HRC crew playing loose with the laws...

The law is if you pay for votes it is illegal.


S 200.04 Bribery in the first degree.
A person is guilty of bribery in the first degree when he confers, or
offers or agrees to confer, any benefit upon a public servant upon an
agreement or understanding that such public servant`s vote, opinion,
judgment, action, decision or exercise of discretion as a public servant
will thereby be influenced in the investigation, arrest, detention,
prosecution or incarceration of any person for the commission or alleged
commission of a class A felony defined in article two hundred twenty of
the penal law or an attempt to commit any such class A felony.
Bribery in the first degree is a class B felony.

That is more of Pork Barrel, but almost not since it is more if I vote for this bill you will vote for my bill...a whole different can of worms.

Quid Pro Quo is currently money for favors, so Bernie paying them for their vote is exactly the definition.
