Wrong.
No point in taking out Hunter if you're real target is Joe.
Taking out Hunter just gives Joe cover.
Let Joe dig a hole so big, he can't escape.
There's a reason his campaign has called a lid on all of Joe's events until elections day…
Basically, this is no diferent than the cops using a dirt bag as an informant. Or a cop going undercover and doing illegal shit. If the real target is worth going for, you do what you gotta do to get him.
