Anyone keeps hearing the concept, "Quid Pro Quo," without much explanation of it. That is in accounts of what goes on in charities and other donations where government access may or may not happen. "May or May Not Happen," likely best summarizes the normal act of making a donation.
If a bribe is intended, from the donation, there has to have been an explicit, written, stated, or emailed(?), promise or undertaking, by the office, to perform or not perform the specific act. Various Constitutional Amendments come into play. There are rights of speech, assembly, petition, free access, and even freedom of donations. So finding a crime is not always easy. You make a donation expecting an influential job. Probably both parties go to jail, if the outcome is the award of the job.
The High Court: When is a campaign contribution a bribe?
You make a donation to a foundation. Someone later on emails that the donor made the donation. It is noted that the donor is in fact the person asking for the appointment, phone call, or email address. All that is happening is that a case is being allowed to be presented, and that the foundation knows something about the person making the presentation. Everything else is Constitutional, even the act of not allowing the access: Unless Civil Rights or other issues come to attention.
Likely no government on earth could survive if allowing access to make a presentation of a caset is considered corruption, or a bribe. Everyone in government would be in jail. Texas was going to pass a law, providing that anyone hiring an "illegal" would have to go to jail. Clearly, the legislation was withdrawn. Everyone with any money in the state, would likely have gone to jail.
The Trump Campaign has no issue. Donald Trump gave the Clinton Foundation $100,000.00, and seems very unlikely to win a political office as the outcome(?)!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(NRA William Tell, Child Endangerment Chapter, at least understands about the importance of getting the fruity things out of the young warriors hair(?)! The AK=47 version, maybe they think applies(?)!)
