I love the timing of this: Sam is out on bail for the entire thing, basically living his life with 0 consequence for many many months.

Then one day the bribe money is under scruteny, this hits the news and within less than a day he's in actual jail for the first time.

The donations have been a central part of the story since day one.

Are you suggesting that They made him leak a witness’s diary so they could arrest him for witness tampering?

Sad to see this conspiracy stuff leaking into HN. Unfortunately I need to make fun of this wildly misinformed cruft to help prevent it taking root here.

I'm pretty confident the bribe money was under scrutiny the entire time (see campaign finance charges), and his bail was revoked for unrelated reasons.
