‘[A]ttempted bribery isn’t in the Constitution.’ That’s Laura Ingraham, possessed of a J.D. from the University of Virginia , putting disproportionate weight, in this case, on an adjective.

I don’t know who needs to hear this—aside from Laura Ingraham’s viewers, that is—but the situation she’s described here is quite literally the crime of bribery, *not* attempted bribery. https://t.co/MQyAgfnkJx — Carissa Byrne Hessick November 15, 2019 Actually, it is.

It's enough to "seek" a bribe - you don't actually have to pull your illegal scheme off. https://t.co/Q6KynEOQIF
