A white hat pedophile.
That's acceptable?
That he may be on a team that will give him the type of deal that Epstein got. Where they let a literal pedo live his life if he did certain things.
Is that something you can rationalize? Unfortunate means to an end? It's just how the sausage is made?
But even police detectives have their confidential informants.
Cooperation, information, and participation to bring down someone bigger, in exchange for a reduced sentence / lighter penalty is very common in our criminal justice system.
Remember what Aereon said in Chronicles of Riddick:
In normal times, evil would be fought with good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil.
Granted, Hunter Biden is no Riddick, lol.
But seriously, how many of us can say that all our actions are purely on the side of 'good'? How many can't say that we've done (or we will or might do) things that 'needed to be done' to win this war no matter how unpleasant? Things in normal times we wouldn't be proud of? I know some can't say that. I really can't. Goes with the night job.
So in my worldview, it is acceptable to work with a criminal or an evil person in order to bust a criminal ring or a greater evil.
Yup.
But YMMV. You do you, mate. Not everyone has the stomach for interacting with people who make up the bottom of the barrel of human behavior.
But are we going to invite a person like that (or for that matter, like me) into the highest echelons of the a white hat organization? No. Because that person's behavior and choices are unacceptable.

Wrong side of heaven, righteous side of hell.
See, to me it's as if you are saying , "Acceptable? Of course not. But let me show you why it's something I accept".
I hear what you're saying.
