Hoist by their own petard

The biggest problem with what Lady Scotland did, or rather did not do, is that she is not just another peer of the realm, nor yet just another member of government. Nor is her involvement only as the Government's chief law officer. She is actually the person who originated and saw through the very legislation she has been breached. That changes the perspective.

I love this sort of thing - other examples gleefully received.

At least she is saving us money, I expect she paid the illegal bugger all, so at least she wont be claiming as much back on her expenses.
