Yeah, it is so much worse than bribery. The DOJ only indicted him on bribery cause they couldn't nail him for espionage. This dudes wife (also charged), her BFF is an Egyptian spy.
They know she was forwarding email from his official government accounts on to her handlers in Egypt. It looks like they can't prove he knew or was involved so it's just bribery.

His previous indictment (and acquittal) was for accepting luxury vacations, plane rides, and political donations over the legal limit from a Florida eye doctor.
I'm all for the innocent until proven guilty stuff, but he had wads of cash hidden in the pockets of jackets, gold bars just hanging out, and luxury cars parked in his garage.
Dude needs to go to jail.
