In this instance, how is “paying for a speech” any different than “giving a bribe”?

Same thing. Except Clintons have immunity from normal equal justice

There will always be bribes in government. Whatever they get called. More government power, more bribes.
The Founders didn’t imagine people would be righteous, they sought to limit government so much that the incentive to offer bribes would be minimized.

Not, when that half million dollar speech comes from a speaker who is having trouble filling small venues for free.

There is no difference. It IS a bribe.
What is your point?
