重點是收錢的時間點，before or after 的問題，所以重點是，日後要做貪官收錢，記住，不要在事前收，必須在事後收，最好事先記帳，將來下台後再收。(大法官用 44 頁 就是在說明這一點， OK

Federal and state law distinguish between two kinds of payments to
public officials—bribes and gratuities. Bribes are typically payments
made or agreed to before an official act in order to influence the public
official with respect to that future official act. Gratuities are typically
payments made to a public official after an official act as a reward or
token of appreciation.
