17. I'm smart enough to read the OP and to reply to comments in same.
He actually was campaigning for office. He thought he had a chance - his obtaining money was not a scheme to defraud and he was not a public official so honest services isn't an element of the offense. Did she supply the videos? If she didn't then the gov has a shot, if she did then how is it that his paying her for the videos was some scheme?
There is nothing that I know of in the campaign laws that tells the candidate that they must go for the cheapest videographer. Are you aware of any bidding requirements?
