A free float-down isn’t that big a deal in and of itself...the big deal is the certain expectation of a “return favor” for doing it.

Elected officials are held to a higher standard of law than workaday citizens-—b/c the elected have the power of the purse.

CASE IN POINT: Democrat US Sen Harrison Williams went to jail for taking a gift of titanium stock——the overriding issue being that he might “return the favor.”

Ordinary citizens receive gifts without repercussions.
