Off-topic I know...but
Satan is certainly God's servant, required to do only what God wills. This does not let Judas off the hook any more than anybody else who does the will of Satan rather than God.
If satan is gods servant and only does god's will, then anyone who does satan's will is doing god's will as it is the will of god. And if the person doing satan's will is helping god accomplish god's will, then how can it be bad?
which, I believe is the underlying aspect of the Judas claim. Judas is helping jesus accomplish the goals of god by 'submitting' to satan. Judas is presenting himself as the ultimate scapegoat.
