Not sure where bribe came from. The Supreme court doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with contributing money to politicians - or even judges in some states. I do, but in most cases I wouldn't call that bribery.
As I said, I just used the term 'bribe' for simplicity. What I mean is " A Congressperson putting the requests of a special interest group (often represented by a lobby) ahead of (often to the detriment of) the 'general welfare' in return for other 'favors'".
I'm sure that verbiage can be dissected, but 'bribe' was a lot simpler and to the point.
