Виндмана никто не спросил, был ли он знаком с Хантером Байденом - да и с Джо тоже?

A Statement on behalf of Hunter Biden, dated October 13, 2019
By George Mesires, Mr. Biden's personal lawyer

In April 2014, Hunter was asked to join the board of Burisma, the largest independent natural gas producer in Ukraine. At the time, Hunter was of counsel with Boies Schiller Flexner LLP [fn 1] (“Boies Schiller”), a major U.S. law firm, and was advising Burisma on its corporate reform initiatives, an important aspect of fueling Burisma’s international growth and diversity. [...] To further its goals of independence, Burisma sought to adopt standards and practices traditionally employed by Western companies. At Hunter’s urging, Boies Schiller engaged Nardello & Co., a leading global investigative firm, to assess, among other things, Burisma’s corporate structure and governance practices. Burisma agreed to pay the legal expenses of Boies Schiller to support Hunter in developing corporate reform initiatives.

Выражение "was of counsel" — это явно какой-то term of art, профессиональный термин. Интересно, что он означает?

Иными словами, недостаточно доверяют, чтобы сделать партнером, но нужный человек. И совершенно случайно именно эта фирма представляет Виндмана, ага,

Как-то так. Или не доверяют, или зашквара боятся.

Кстати, 10 лет назад Бойс Шиллер и защищал Хантера тоже:
