What did the RNC get in return, what was the Quid Pro Quo ?

I suspect it was immunity from scrutiny of military industrial complex funding of the GOP

so much corruption has grown under that damnable 1982 agreement

The Reps were caught red-handed doing exactly the same kind of election fraud we're wringing our hands over now. They were hauled into court over it. The Quid Pro Quo they got is they escaped criminal prosecution for what they did, and everybody got to sweep it under the rug.

A consent decree is when a plaintiff, a defendant, and a judge presiding over the case, all mutually agree to some remedy for a criminal wrong that is to take place outside of the criminal justice system. "Consent" because all parties freely agreed to it. "Decree" because the blessing of the judge gives it the weight of a court ruling, equivalent to a sentence after a criminal trial.
