Each of those bribes could be crimes, exposing the donors to huge penalties and jail time. If convicted of bribery of a public official under 18 U.S.C. 201(b), the penalties include up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to three times the monetary amount of something of value offered to the public official.

They have a lot of laws on the books, that are as worthless as toilet paper, which is actually worth something as it cleans the bum.
