fom) Chris Mellon © Thanks Hi Sean; Do you have a specific example of Dave claiming he’s contacted AARO and your office refused to respond? That sounds strange as during a conversation yesterday he toki me AARO was not a lawfully designated recipient of his whistleblower info, hence his reason for not contacting AARO. | also do not recall saying Dave refused to come talk to AARO, | certainly did not do so in the Debrief article or my article in Politico and I've done no interviews yet about Dave I'll be happy to check on that. Contrary to press reports Dave still retains his attorney who is a …

Fawis fom) Chris Mellon @ ao w& | spoke w Dave and his first question was, “Why hadn't, Tue, sun 13 1 all the info from the IC IG? It is all there and fully documented to include confirmation the program is real from active, cleared insiders He obviously doesn't have to do so and he even said "How do | know Sean is not a target of the ongoing criminal investigation” (!) However, that being said, | explained your request regarding having his attorney contact OGC and suggested he do so to show full cooperation. He said that if you can provide OGC’s contact info he'll pass it to his attorney. Btw…

1?Paconti.a ® Chris Mellon @ ao ww Hill OGC generally advise members only, They advise their employers, not members of the public You can't tell Chuck to go to various committees on the Hill, It needs to be someone who represents AARO in the Executive Branch There are a dozen Hill committees with Majority and Minority counsel who may not even agree Not without his permission obviously. How about | relay your contact info here to Chuck? This will get sorted, of that | have no doubt. It is only a matter of how quickly and by whom Really? Odd, | try to bring everyone to AARO | can; | arn trying t…

Really? Odd, | try to bring everyone to AARO | can; | am trying to help put Dave in touch with your GC if you can provide simple contact info; I'm not judging the claims between you and Dave and have not claimed his claims are accurate. I've said he is sincere and credible and his and other claims, which | expressly called “allegations,"warrant investigation. | have no idea what u or Dave discussed or when and I'm not taking a position on that or even the underlying claim of recovered materials. So I'm kind. Read More Dave can now say, “Sean has refused to provide me or my attormey the contact…

@ Chris Mellon @ Great! | will be happy to provide that to Dave and Chuck if you like. | think you have a fascinating and important job and | want nothing more than to see the process work. Please don't think | am out to make your job harder. Actually, he probably can and might! But that doesn't matter, | have no specific reason to believe he will and | am not proposing that to him. Just trying to close the loop and move things toward a good outcome. Thanks New Messages I've passed that along to Dave for his attorney's review. Per your message above I'll seek to avoid further communication unl…
