“The Bagman”

Why do they not call this guy a “bagman”, as is certainly the case?

If you do not know what a bagman is, you will if you ever get in serious

trouble with the law. A lawyer will approach you and guarantee,

for a fee, that he can get you off the hook as he is very chummy

with the Judge, in other words he is the Judge’s bagman.

I’ll let the analogy go unsaid.
