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