...
I believe the speaker stops short of accusing someone in lack of conscience and states that they definitely lack logic.
Something like:
This is a complete lack of logic, if not conscience.
I would not say <...> lacks conscience, but logic, definitely.
In normal Russian it would be: Не хотелось бы говорить, что ... не имеет совести, но логики здесь нет точно.

Comment: " Thanks, and indeed thanks to all, especially Tatiana's comments about Russian.
Supposedly someone asked Kissinger, after he had become famous and powerful, if people treated him differently. He said, "Yes, now when I bore people they think it's THEIR fault". Well, I may know Russian but when I don't understand something like this I tend to think it's MY fault! I wasn't sure if совести was from the verb совестить or the noun совесть in my attempt to make sense of it."

honestly, I don't feel like saying it but there isn't any logic
It's my translation and at the same time my feeling: I don't see any logic in the given fragment either but I can't wait for the whole sentence anymore as I'm too sleepy.
Good night!
Good night!

Gary, the language of our "party leaders" was a nightmare, so your "perverse gratification" is no offense to anybody.
Translation from Russian into Russian...
Не то чтобы совести нет, а логики - точно.
Или
"Что" совести "нет" - не хочется сказать, а логики нет точно.
The author dropped too many words for easy comprehension...
Or - maybe this is just a bad short-hand recording? Maybe not...

Перевод:
I wouldn't like to say this was just malicious reasoning / XXX had no conscience (to have said this) (контекста нет, а здесь не обязательно имеется в виду обвинение конкретного человека в несправедливых обвинениях - может быть коллективный доклад или коллективное решение партийного органа), but there is definitely no logic in it ("reasoning option"). Or: but XXX is definitely short on logic.

That it does not have conscience, I don't know, but it definitely doesn't make sense.
Who knows, it might sound good during polemics.

Leaving scruples aside, let's say that there's a definite lack of logic...
Another alternative:
"Leaving scruples aside, I see no logic in this."
"Leaving scruples aside, I see no logic in this."
Discussion
The immediate preceding discussion is whether the Leninist policy of exploiting contradictions between capitalist countries is being used; some think the capitalist camp is uniting.
