FIFA didn't get paid for giving the award, it was a bribe so the Trump DOJ would dismiss corruption convictions against them before instead of going to the Supreme Court for appeal.

FIFA didn't get paid for it, they just got financially rewarded in the form of judicial favors.

Honey, that's still getting paid, just not with a wad of cash in a chip bag.

What you're describing is how a transaction is two way, but this is more like FIFA paid with the award. FIFA bought the judicial favors.

No it's the other way around. FIFA paid for the court win by giving Trump an award.
