Again, irrelevant.

Whatever a convicted Watergate conspirator now palling around with Al Franken (or domestic terrorist now working as a college professor for that matter) may or may not have done nearly forty years ago in no way relevant to whether or not a particular economic policy is advisable today OR whatever loophole a corporate executive may or may not plan to exploit.


It is relevant because the principle is the same. In both situations you have plans we both view as wrong. If those plans were carried out (somebody firebombed or a pay cap dodged for example) does it become more wrong? Well of course it does.
