          Who knows if this is true, but if so it's a stunning abuse of the Certificate of Divestiture program (tax relief) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2017-07-25/scaramucci-is-said-to-seek-federal-tax-break-on-skybridge-sale …pic.twitter.com/qzCgvdIpiN

          To be clear, I don't know if there IS a CD request except for what's reported in news. I don't want to create a false impression that I know

          But there's a lot of information in the news about the deal that, if true, indicates a CD would be inappropriate.

          Could he only be taking job for short time to get tax break? Would it be worthwhile?

          That's what OGE has to guard against. It's only supposed to ease the pain of following rules. It's not supposed to be a fringe benefit.

          More clear for sure! Only tweaks would be use more nouns instead of they and he, because there are a few theys to keep straight.

          Was about to suggest the same, also the "it" in your second paragraph (Skybridge?). Thanks for the explanation; I get lost in legalese.

          the phrase "before they hired him " . Does 'him' refer to the attorney mentioned earlier, or the 'he' that is mentioned right up front?

          Right. That should be made clearer. Before they hired Scaramucci, not the attorney.
