"Excellent Point!"

 Mr. Harris has made no attempt to hide what he's done.  He even seems proud of his nefarious behavior.  He has left his fingerprints at the scene of the crime. The camera has captured him in the act. And he has posted public accounts of what he has done.  Caught in the act, everything points to his having to pay the price for his transgressions.
    But wait---he speaks out, offering no defense for his misbehavior, but suggesting  a financial boon to the one who is to judge his behavior.  The judge, intrigued by a way to save money, hastily  dismisses the charges, no longer interested in serving justice, instead hoping to benefit himself.  He takes the word of a  criminally inclined man  that he will profit by following his advice.  The judge  doesn't think it through, doesn't know if the savings will actually be available to him.  Irrational behavior to be sure, especially from one who should be held to standards of accountability.
   Sure, just a commercial.  Nothing like that  could happen in real life.
