That doesn't actually follow. There are plenty of examples of people who have high integrity in either public service or business who also cheat on their spouses. Human feelings aren't that logical. There are also examples of people who are faithful spouses but who exhibit contemptible public behavior. As examples, I give you John F. Kennedy, adulterer extraordinaire but without a hint of scandal in his public life, and Richard Nixon, who resigned one step ahead of the impeachment posse but is never rumored to have strayed sexually.
