Um. I don't think you can get a refund on a bribe.
Found this little tidbit:
...According to the [House Government Reform Committee] report, Rodham met the Gregorys at an event to raise money for Clinton's second term and approached them in 1997 about retaining him to explore new business opportunities.
With the assistance of his sister, Hillary, Rodham helped the Gregorys get contracts to stage carnivals at the White House in 1998 and 2000, the report said.
A federal jury in Mobile, Alabama, convicted the Gregorys of fraud in 1982 in connection with improprieties at two banks they owned.
Part of the conviction was overturned, and in 1986 the case ended when the Gregorys pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and misapplication of bank funds. Both were given probation.
And, according to the committee (from the Times article): The Gregorys had sought pardons because they thought their criminal records would disqualify them from winning state carnival contracts, according to the report.
Funny that state carnival oversight has higher standards than the Clinton White House did.
Since the Gregorys would have paid Hell booking a White House event if they had told Tony to go fly a kite, it's kinda' difficult to determine what part was bribery & what part was extortion. And, I'm guessing that so long as your 'payment for services rendered' comes in the form of a 'loan', it doesn't count as taxable income.
