No they don't. What they show is that the same person who traded in oil also donated to Gallaway's company who was lobbying against sanctions on humanitarian grounds. Now in the Senate hearing the question was raised where did this donation originated from and Galloway answered this is a vast business and he did not ask which part of the profits contributed to this donation. The point remains though that even if the donation came form the proceeds of the oil trade, there is nothing immoral or illegal about some patriotic businessman donating to an organization that is lobbying for easing of sanctions on humanitarian grounds.
