Well, in the Hilary case my reason for favoring the "bribe" explanation is that presumably the person who first made the accusation was more familiar with the specifics of the situation than I am.

In the Senators case, anti-insider trading laws are written in such a way that they don't apply to Congressmen and their staff. So that makes that explanation more likely.
