Someone buying $TRUMP family's memecoin to get access to the president at a dinner to push POTUS to take an official act that benefits the buyer of the token. That only becomes a "bribe" or even in the realm of a bribe if the official act is then taken. So it's potential corruption.
Agreed, you would also need a decades-long psychological investigation to determine motive once the act had been committed; might take half a century at least to even determine whether a transaction had occurred, best to play it safe
