@JoyceWhiteVance
Actually, it is. You see, the federal bribery statute, 18 USC 201, defines bribery to include attempted bribery. It's enough to "seek" a bribe - you don't actually have to pull your illegal scheme off.

They all do that. None of them are as ignorant as they act.

It's tough work trying to defend the indefensible.
I guess in Foxworld, a driver pulled over for speeding who holds out a $50 bill along with his license and asks the officer, "Whaddya say we forget all about this, huh?" would not have committed a crime until and unless the officer accepts the bribe.
In the real world, not so much.
