Boeing has an enormous number of subcontractors. If boeing gets orders they'll make sure the subcontractors are in your district.

Not sure what that has to do with the Qatari bribe.

  • It's another example of a way to bribe politicians. What's the issue?

    • I thought he was trying to say the Qatari bribe wasn't a bribe because Boeing will have to service the jet or something like that. If it was a completely separate case of bribery, it makes sense - although it strikes me quite a bit different than a payment directly to the politician (vs a promise to the constituents of the district).
