Should Micheal Moore be Charged With Attempted Federal Bribery?

[Calvinist Dark Lord]

Because he was acting as if he was..
Telling me I needed to brush up on my legal knowledge.
I'm going on legal definitions from the web and asking if the case could be brought to court on felony charges.

Well, not to argue the point, but you might want to try Black's Law Dictionary just in case.

He is who he says he is, and he is not a hypocrite.

If you cannot articulate the reasons for calling him names, perhaps you aught not call him names.

I agree with the op ed I posted. Read it.

Micheal Moore is a hypocrite. He's earned gazillions of dollars preying on peoples emotions.

• Any person offering bribery for the performance of a public duty;
• from Federal Laws On Bribery – Bribery
• MM offered to pay fines/legal fees to faithless electors..why is that not bribery?

And Black's is the only legal dictionary out there..yea,right.
I have 4 dictionaries in agreement.

Compensation for breaking a rule or law is still bribery.

So, just to be clear, if I ask you to ask you to perform some task that might result in your being fined and offer to pay that fine so that you come out even this is a bribe according to you?

• Any person offering bribery for the performance of a public duty;
• from Federal Laws On Bribery – Bribery
• MM offered to pay fines/legal fees to faithless electors..why is that not bribery?

Do you want to explain how the actual bribery statute applies instead of just posting definitions trying to prove your conclusion?

Out rage?
About someone bribing Federal Electors?
Someone like this?
Colorado Secretary of State Refers Faithless Elector for Charges
If this case goes to court,how much will MM pay in legal fees?
A bribe is a bribe is a bribe...no matter how much it is sugar coated.

The state's Attorney General will decide whether he will face charges. The article noted no bribery charge. It is not illegal nor uncommon for people to pay legal fees for another person. happens all the time.
