I don't see it as a question of logic. There's nothing remotely creative, original, or 'outside the box' about addressing illegality with illegality and trying to rationalize the ends justifying the means, in my opinion.
Nor is there anything novel about people in or outside the system viewing themselves as above the law and designating themselves as surrogate judges and juries.
Vigilantism and corruption are old, stale, and hurt everybody in the society. I'm not a fan.
In my view, a DA who resorts to corruption to secure a conviction is a hack. It's comparable to a card player cheating in a high stakes poker tournament because he suspects one of the 5 other players stole his brother's Pantera. Taking the pot wouldnt make him a winner; just a cheater and a thief.
