Jeff Sessions actually said...

to deprive another of the intangible right to honest services.

I think Senator Sessions is dead right that that goes to the definition of what local is, and that should not be the bar.

If a mayor takes a series of bribes and, that is, bribery being a predicate act under RICO, the mayor can be charged with RICO.

I do think it is incumbent on Congress to pass a law that means what it says and is clear.
