They are buying access, influence and ultimately control. They only want to give millions
of dollars when they reasonably believe the candidate will win. They only donate when there is
a reasonable expectation their money will actually buy what they want.

You can disagree with their assessment, but to go beyond that into bribery and extortion
is going to far. And to suggest that the President should misuse his power to influence
DOJ is beyond the pale.
