A party cannot be corrupt.  Certain members of one can be, however.

Note the use of the word "some".  My (unedited) point still stands.

How can a rank and file member of a party not in power be corrupt?

How can a rank and file member of a party in power be corrupt?

(Assuming that person isn't in a position of power themselves, of course; much like the same person you referred to above.)

They can't. That's my point. Talking about rank and file members in terms of corruption is pointless.

And the person mentioned is not currently in power, but he was most certainly corrupt when he was.

Then your point doesn't make any sense, and serves only to strengthen my earlier one.  A party cannot be corrupt.  Certain members of one can be, however.
