Sacrificial Pig

In my experience, one of the problems of corruption is that the corrupt official not seldom has to decide who will be the sacrificial pig: the honest person, or the corrupt one? It's a decision which is rooted in the official's sense of his or her own shrewdness. That is, which choice is the more shrewd? OBSERVATION: It seems to me to be akin to works and faith in the Bible: to follow my own ability to be shrewd, or to do the right thing in faith. Yet to live by one's own shrewdness surely complicates things greatly.
