Peanut Gallery (Jack Noble)

When is Attorney General Wasden going to open a public corruption investigation of Senator Noble’s conduct?

Under Idaho Code 18-1352. BRIBERY IN OFFICIAL AND POLITICAL MATTERS. A person is guilty of bribery, a felony, if he offers, confers or agrees to confer upon another, or solicits, accepts or agrees to accept from another:

(2) Any benefit as consideration for the recipient’s decision, vote, recommendation or other exercise of official discretion in a judicial or administrative proceeding; or
(3) Any benefit as consideration for a violation of a known legal duty as public servant or party official.

It is no defense to prosecution under this section that a person whom the actor sought to influence was not qualified to act in the desired way whether because he had not yet assumed office, or lacked jurisdiction, or for any other reason.

The “another” in this case is Noble’s wife.

(Isn’t it ironic that the perpetrator’s name is ‘Noble’?)
