That strikes me as a mighty thin cop out. First GWB chooses an idiot advisers who leads him astray, everyone and their brother and law tells GWB his adviser is wrong, and GWB cheerfully continues to violate the law even after his idiot adviser is forced to resign.
Hate to tell you, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Its just like asking some criminal, is it OK for me to rob the bank at gun point, and when the criminal says yes, and the person robs the bank at gun point, he can say the devil made me do it? Do you realize how long that would last in a court of law, they would still be laughing
after they sent him to jail.
Hitler enablers created the same cushy deal for themselves, but when they got to Neuremberg,
all their artificial defenses did not last five milliseconds.
