And in any case where you receive money to do something, you are entirely free of the moral and legal weight of the actions you take because someone is paying you? No. God no.

Yeah that’s not how lawyering works. Or any job, for the vast majority of people. Moral purity is a privilege. On that note, back to my job undermining humanity! But you feel free to keep sermonizing.

Yeah, Mike was right, you don’t understand lawyering. That’s just not how this works.
