This is basically Tommy Carcetti's arc from The Wire. It's one of the storylines on the 3rd(?) season

    Carcetti didn’t take a bribe nor did he ever bribe anyone. There was the shady shit with Clay Davis extorting Carcetti, but it is clear tht Carcetti didn’t play.

    Carcetti did become a slime ball in office but that was really more hurting the city to protect his political career.

    Agreed with all that. But they show his entire run including the backroom dealings like Clay Davis, so still seems pretty close.

    But it's also been a good while since I saw it.
