It was a politically charged topic, he would have been crucified either way.

But by phrasing the memo the way he did, he covered himself legally.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear everything was run by a lawyer first.

What could possibly make you think he sought legal representation before writing that document? He was just looking for an argument/discussion.
