First of all, I am sure he would have denied everything. Furthermore, if people were expecting to see the results of the $10,000 he offered, they, too, would surely have denied everything. As I say, it would have been my word against his.
Also, I don't think the police would have decided to investigate. It would have looked at the same Criminal Code that I'm familiar with, to arrive at the conclusion that there was no attempt to bride an official. As a result, they would have told me to go and see the Chief Electoral Officer, and he would have arrived at the same conclusions then as he has now.
