One has to assume that bribery is a BIG part of it. Politicians routinely sell out for relatively small sums. Spiro Agnew was a series of small bribes eventually totaling about $100,000. I believe they were from local contractors. Jefferson in LA was also low six figures over one deal in Africa.
The amount of money available to bribe politicians, cops, etc. is many orders of magnitude greater than local Maryland contractors (Agnew) the amount of money at stake in the African deal, and just about every other deal that politicians accept bribes for. There is no doubt the bribes are offered. Does anyone think that politicians are too honorable to accept them?
