But legal training at core doesn't train you to seek truth. It trains you to understand the law, use the law to emphasize facts that advocate for your client and develop strategies to protect you from those facts that create risk for your client.

Political training also doesn't seek truth. You learn to persuade. You learn to understand what people believe and perhaps to shift that belief. But it is not, at core, a truth seeking exercise, at least not at the level of the individual politician.
