Bribing a government official, or accepting a bribe as a government official?

Many seem to think the former is worse. I'd say the latter is without question.

Accepting a bribe is worse since it likely comes with actual action that justifies it.

Wait. Do we need to analyze intention before judging the outcome?

I don't see how intention would be a big factor in the question.

Your government regularly bribes or attempts to bribe government officials and the USA is blessed by God so it has to be the accepting.
