Gee, I wonder why Justice Thomas might be friendly towards the accused in a public corruption case. Maybe Harlan Crow encouraged him.

"Encouraged him" before or after?

The critical question, apparently.

No, before is fine as long as they don't have you on tape calling it a bribe and laughing maniacally. The last part is important as without it they cannot prove you knew you were committing a crime.
