I suspect most lawyers have some sort of political affiliation. The consultant fees is what I find compromising.
RE: some sort of political affiliation for lawyers....
90% of law schools reward the students who show their woke and Dem leanings and cut down the others.

Snubbing Trump, Lawyers Doling More Cash to Democrats
Roy Strom
Contributions to Trump from legal profession continue to dwindle
Big Law’s favorite candidates thus far, Biden and Harris, data show
Lawyers have long been a reliable source of campaign funds for Democratic presidential hopefuls. But the legal set’s political contributions haven’t been this blue since at least 2004.
Lawyers and employees of the nation’s law firms have contributed nearly $17 million to presidential campaigns so far this election cycle and 95% of the total has gone to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised just over $785,000 from lawyers and law firms.
I can’t believe anyone is surprised by this!
