What about 18 U.S. Code § 201? It applies to both giver and receiver. There are also state law counterparts in most if not all states. As for insider trading by members of congress, the 2012 Stock Act makes it illegal, but it has enough loopholes that prosecution is hard and attempts to strengthen the law have failed. Still the claim that all the cheaters using Montana LLC and trusts are government workers is laughably ignorant, but educating conspiracy theory nut jobs is usually an exercise in futility — they yawn.
