Politicians given a lot of dirty money in bogs (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swamps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bogs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'politicians given a lot of dirty money' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'politicians' could be 'mps' (Members of Parliament) and 'mps' is present in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swamps that I've seen before include "Tracts of wet spongy land" , ".Quagmires or sloughs" , "Bogs, marshes" , "Seasonally-flooded low-lands" , "Overwhelms in marshes" .)
