What quid pro quo looks like

"It looks to me like you're pretty close to getting this job. Pretty close. I'm going to be reviewing this one the next few days. Hey in the meantime I wanted to ask you for a favor, I heard you can get tickets to the Superbowl at your current job. Think you could hook me up?" "Wow your submission is one of the best responses we got to our RFP. I am about to award the deal and I have to say you are in the running. Hey, can you do me a favor? I heard your wife is on the admissions board at the college my son is applying to. Can you make sure his application gets a good look?" "I'm just finalizing the details on this aid request, the hundreds of millions of dollars your country needs and these weapons purchases. It's almost done just a few more things to finalize and I can sign off on it. Hey, can you do me a favor? This Biden guy, do you think you can start as investigation into him? It would really help me with the election next year."
