Original Note:
To qualify as a crime under 18 Sec. 201, John Oliver would need to have a corrupt intent AND try to influence an “official act.” There is an argument that he does not have a corrupt intent, and resignation does not appear to be defined as an “official act” under the law. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/201 https://www.newsweek.com/john-oliver-offers-clarence-thomas-million-resign-unlikely-broke-law-1871787
