Doesn't surprise me, I'm not sure if there a single government out there that isn't corrupt.

Being detrimental. Taking money from someone that is trying to make the world a better place is still taking a bribe, but taking money from someone knowingly trying to do bad makes you terrible.

There is no difference, behaviour like this is inherent to the function of representative democracy. They draw lines in the sand and say "well if you're on this side it's allowed," but it's all the same beach in reality.

It's a tightrope dance. If politicians are paid too little, crime fills the gap and takes over. If government is paid too much then the public suffers from that alone.
