Those are called sophists. Today we'd call them lawyers. Or Republicans.

The Sophists were more concerned with being able to convince others that a particular opinion was to be believed, even when they knew it was actually false. Whereas Socrates was concerned only with the truth, even when it wasn't something he wanted to be true.
