Politicians should be made to pay out of their own pockets or have an insurance for this type of situation.
We don't want to create a system where only the rich can afford to be politicians ... or at least we don't want to make that any worse than it already is

Why stop at politicians, though? Shouldn't everyone who accepts large sums of money be held accountable if it turns out the money was stolen? At least to some degree?
The sums sure are substantial. You can argue they know their employer was no angel, too. OK to claw back paychecks, or do we draw the line somewhere closer to actually participating in a criminal act?
As a straightforward instance that arises periodically, if a bank were to erroneously deposit funds into your account you’re under obligation to return the funds.
