Blaming anyone's immoral and bad behavior on something others did that we disagree with is not only illogical, it's irresponsible and a little dangerous.

This is called a bribe. We all know it’s a bribe. The freight company spending $20 million admits it’s a bribe. Everyone understands this, and yet no one is holding him accountable — especially his own party which claims to care about law and order.
