Yep. In the 2008 movie "Defiance" (about the Jewish partisans in Belarus led by the Bielski brothers who made life hard for the Nazi invaders), there is a scene where Tuvia Bielski (played by Daniel Craig) visits retribution on a local government official who has delivered many local Jews to the Nazis for extermination.

Your post reminded me of this scene where this treacherous weasel desperately tries to excuse his heinous complicity in mass murder by saying he was "only doing his job." In today's terms, this pathetic excuse would now be - "I was only being a Democrat."
