Paying him to quit wouldn’t be bribery.

Confirm that. John Oliver does not have matters before the court. Harlan Crow and all the others who shower gifts on Thomas, routinely have matters directly before the court. They are guilty of at least circumstantial bribery. People get paid to retire from jobs all the time (“golden parachute”). Depends on the specific terms of that agreement, but legal.
