"Honest graft" nghĩa là gì?

"Honest graft" = hối lộ thành thật -> nghĩa là các cơ hội kiếm tiền phát sinh khi điều hành công sở. Tuy các cơ hội này hợp pháp nhưng dễ bị nghi ngờ và bị chỉ trích. 

Ví dụ
That particular theory has a pedigree (dòng dõi), and a specific name. It was popularized more than a century ago by George Washington Plunkitt, another flamboyant New York businessman and politician. He dubbed it “honest graft.”

"Everybody is talkin' these days about Tammany men growin' rich on graft (hối lộ), but nobody thinks of drawin' the distinction (khác biệt) between honest graft and dishonest graft. There's all the difference in the world between the two."

That's the very venue where beginning in the late 1800s Plunkitt gave a series of remarkably honest, humorous and at times even persuasive (đầy thuyết phục) interviews defending the concept of "honest graft" and other sage, streetwise learnings drawn from four decades in politics.
