NY politician Victor Tabone claimed he was too drunk to recognize that the briefcase filled with $20,000 he accepted in the back of an SUV was a bribe. He stated that the 6 or 7 vodka tonics he had at dinner made him think that the bribe was actually a contract to hire him as a political consultant.
As part of an undercover FBI sting operation, Tabone was one of 3 other politicians caught in the bribery scheme.
Duh! Somebody paid him $20,000 CASH to be a political consultant? How many drug dealer will use that line next time. ‘Oh, I got that 20 large from being a consultant.’ Yeah. That’s right.
Use the defense most up on Capitol Hill use. I cannot remember.

No check to verify the contract. Sounds like deception.
