>>One of the big examples right now is that the State Department (during HRC's tenure) approved the sale of $630 million worth of arms to Bahrain’s military. During the period of 2006 to 2008, the US sold $219 million worth of weapons to them.

You're saying- what exactly? That Bahrain bought more weapons from US manufacturers because their Crown Prince donated $ to the Clinton Foundation? That doesn't even begin to make sense.

>> The report also documented that during the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011, when Bahrain was accused of using tear gas, the State Department approved 70K of arms sales classified as “toxicological agents”. By contrast, there was just $700 worth of such sales immediately prior to that.

Ditto above.

>>The email exchange talks about CF executive Doug Band asking Huma Abedin to set up a meeting between Clinton and Crown Prince Salman (deputy supreme commander of Bahrain’s armed forces.) Band referred to Salman as a “good friend of ours.”. The result was a huge spike in approved arms sales. And oh by the way, Salman has directed $32 million to a Clinton Foundation program,

This is the same example I've given 3 times. First, lots of people ask to meet Clinton. To declare favoritism to donors, you need to show that a donor got to meet her who normally wouldn't get a foot in her door. Second, as I keep saying: if the Crown Prince is the only example then it proves the opposite of what you want, especially if he's wanting to buy lots more military goodies. Apart from anything else, if the State Department were so foolish as to snub him, the French will cheerfully scoop up all his business and invite him to dinner at Hôtel Matignon. No doubt HRC would be blamed for that as well.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
