<s>[INST] The governor of a state files a complaint with the state ethics commission against a lawyer who is running for a state legislative seat. The lawyer did not vote for the governor in the last election and the governor openly supported the lawyer's opponent in the lawyer's bid to become the leader of the state bar association. The complaint alleges that the lawyer violated a state statute by using a state legislative seat as a platform for the lawyer's law practice. The lawyer has not actually done this, but the governor is concerned that the lawyer might do so in the future. The governor offers to drop the complaint if the lawyer will withdraw from the race. Any contact by the lawyer with any other government official regarding the complaint will subject the lawyer to a special counsel investigation. Is the governor's offer a crime?[/INST]
