Because their pockets are full of bribes, they need to spend some of it before they can do anything and "officials" that refuse to fight and protect those that they represent should be removed from office.

I'd go one further: If ~~bribing~~ lobbying was proven, the politicians should not only be removed, they should also be just as liable for damages as the company is/should be.
