i love his reaction:
In an interview today, Sharpton said there is "absolutely nothing illegal" about tying business deals to fund-raising because he is not a public official.
"The tapes vindicate me," Sharpton said. "They show that I did not talk about bribing a public official or paying money under the table."
Id have to check the law itself. but I am willing to bet taking bribes for political purposes is illegal regardless of whether you win office or not. I cant imagine how it could not be. But then I could be wrong. its not an area ive studied much.
