Ok my last word on this. Here are the problems with the bribe theory:

(1) nobody has found the money

(2) nobody has shown that the named corporation in oil ministry paper belongs to Galloway.

(3) the authenticity and/or context of that document is questionable, especially given the forgeries that have been found so far.

(4) Assuming you can prove items 1-3, then you can make an educated accusation. Here as well as in the court, the pattern of conduct means a lot. If I have a history of curing people for free and then one of my patients gives me a gift after treatment, that is a charitable contribution. But if I never lifted a finger to help anyone unless I got paid, then this "gift" is payment no matter what anyone says. In our case Galloway continued on the same path he had been for a long time, so even if you prove 1-3 he did not take bribe.
