The First Amendment's protection of political speech
ensures that a political contribution will not constitute
extortion under 18 U.S.C. § 1951 or honest services fraud
under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1346 unless the candidate and
donor make an "explicit" quid pro quo agreement that
an official act is a condition for the acceptance of the
contribution. McCormick v. United States , 500 U.S. 257
(1991).

Is McCormick's requirement of a " quid pro quo "
satisfied when a political candidate accepts a political
contribution knowing that the donor believes the candidate
will take official action because of the contribution?
