It is one thing that public servants are sometimes corrupt;

...and that there are lawyers who will sell their souls for money; and who spend their lives using loopholes, technicalities and other legal weaselry to create exceptions for corrupt public servants from accountability to the law.

It is a whole other thing; that the public is paying for the lawyers that will except corrupt public servants from accountability for having betrayed the public trust.

...it is an irony.
