(Sorry for that. It's hard to proof read on a blackberry.) Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. From: Walter M. Shaub Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 9:15 AM To: Sean Doocey Cc: Shelley K. Finlayson Subject: time-sensitive issue ‎Sean, ‎ I'm just dropping another quick note to remind you that OGE is here to help. We seem to have lost contact with the Trump-Pence transition team since the election. ‎ As we discussed prior to the election, announcing cabinet picks without taking OGE up on the offer to take an early look at their financial disclosure reports poses the risk of embarrassment for the President-elect (and the individual candidate for nomination) in the event that the individual walks away from the nomination after learning what he or she will have to do with his or her financial interests. This is true even in the case of Senators, as Senators are not subject to conflicts of interest laws and may not fully appreciate how different life is in the executive branch. We would genuinely like to help you prevent that undesirable outcome. ‎ As we also previously discussed, the same offer applies to possible White House appointees. The risk is even higher for them because OGE would not normally receive their financial disclosure reports until after they have been in office for weeks or even months. By that time, they run the risk of having inadvertently violated the criminal conflicts of interest restriction at 18 USC 208. If we don't get involved early to prevent problems, we won't be able to help them after the fact. ‎ In addition, please remind people that, as we discussed, OGE needs to be involved before anyone seeks to set up a blind trust. Conversations with potiential trustees before consulting with OGE could disqualify the potential trustees. Also, please be sure that people realize that no asset placed in a blind trust is considered blind, and thus continues to pose conflicts of interest, until the asset has been sold off and the government official receives a letter (approved in advance by OGE) indicating that an asset has been sold down to $1,000 or less. ‎ I will be talking to Don McGahn as soon as I can pin him down to a time for a call, which is proving to be difficult. However, I don't have confirmation from anyone on the transition team
