So if politicians won't sell a corp the LEO they want, the corp can just purchase them directly.

Well, I imagine it's about ROI and cost effectiveness: sometimes it's cheaper to buy the politicians already in-place, sometimes it's cheaper to buy the elections for newly-elected ones, and sometimes it's cheaper to just go straight to the executive branch and buy a small part of it instead.
