The main point here is that he claimed that he could not legally release them because of the audit , which was a flat out lie . And to your point if he wanted to release them he would have . He clearly does whatever he wants to do , and the fact that he didn ' t release them coupled with the fact that he lied about the reason why he didn ' t release them really makes it look like he ' s hiding something purposely . He signed up for this thing knowing full well where he stood financially and it ' s time for him to be responsible and do the right thing . If he knew he wasn ' t fit to run or that there were inevitable conflicts of interest he shouldn ' t have run in the first place . As hard as it apparently is for him to grasp , sometimes decisions have consequences .
