What Does A Bribe Look Like?

Here:

Ann Copland...admitted to U.S. District Judge Richard Roberts that she took the gifts in exchange for helping one of Abramoff's top clients...to commit honest services fraud...

E-mails disclosed...show she was particularly demanding in what she wanted from the lobbyist.

At one point she sent a long list of ticket requests that included several concerts, hockey, ice skating and the circus. At other times she sent e-mails from inside the firm's luxury box seats complaining about the food and drinks.

...Copland wanted...to see singer Paul McCartney, an ice skating event, musical acts 'NSync and Green Day and a hockey game. She also asked for two to six tickets to see the circus, but only if they were floor seats.
