What is Stancil's position here?
Is he siding with Patel and he wants Wexner to be covered up?
Or is he against Patel lying under oath?
I can't figure it out.

It do be like that.

I believe will's position here is that joel's take is insane.

That's a fair point. I mean there has to be some limits to defending the reputation of people in your in-group, otherwise you're gonna end up with freeloaders doing all kinds of morally reprehensible shenanigans because they know they can hide behind you - which is basically the story of every mafia in history.
