I did a little research into Bahrain:

It appears to be a moderate, prosperous, and forward-thinking nation albeit the people there are rabidly violent against Jews [like all muslim states].
So for those who think highly of Bahrain, it would STILL be evil to coerce their prince into BRIBING a US civil servant!
That hurts our prestige. Is that the way to build strong, lasting relations with other nations??????
Hillary would get the USA nuked if someone would pay her 10 billion in advance.
