It shouldn’t be this hard to prosecute politicians who are accused of abusing the public trust. But now in the case of Snyder v.
These difficulties are compounded by the fact that it has always been difficult to link the receipt of money or gifts to official acts and while the statute must be clarified, it shouldn’t be so narrow that it essentially fails in its purpose to protect the public.
