There is a classic, likely real life story, in French politics that a sitting president of France was confronted with a blackmail scheme by Soviet agents. They had pictures of him and his current mistress inflagrante delecto and they came to him with the pictures. He looked at the images and said, “Wonderful! Could I get copies of this one, and this one…and this one?” They walked away with quite the lesson. Guilt and ethics is in the eye of the beholder.
