Trump never said he wasn't releasing his returns because of a law prohibiting the release. He said he wasn't releasing the returns under advice of Council.

He said he wasn't releasing the returns under advice of Council.

However, we know how that game can be played.

Attorney: "Do you want us to say that you shouldn't release your tax returns?"

Client: "Yes."

Attorney: "Don't release your tax returns."

Client: "Thank you."

Now the client can say that he's taking the action "on advice of counsel."

I'm not saying that is how it happened but short of approving of illegal actions, attorneys can give you almost any type of self-serving advice you want so you can hide behind their advice.

I’m sorry, who suggested a law was involved?
