you might think she was less concerned with portraying him as a crook, than with portraying every other lobbyist, and the politicians they’re in bed with, as not being crooks: “Lawful lobbying does not include paying a public official a personal benefit with the understanding, explicit or implicit, that a certain official act will occur. That’s not lobbying. That’s a crime. ... Government officials and governmental action are not for sale.” No, they’re not ON sale; it’s full retail price. No sales tax, though. And you can get gift cards.
