- Roberts v. Nicholson, U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, 05-2425, fully briefed and pending assignment of a judge.
“Roberts is a test case. If the VA gets away with this, they’ll plan B and intimidate a lot more vets,” said a Vietnam veteran advocate.
In the mean time, several questions remain to be asked of the controversial US Atty Biskupic:
- What transpired between the first indictment and the superseding indictment?
- Why were only the VA Special Agents (with no formal law enforcement experience) used to investigate the alleged crimes in the mail fraud and wired fraud indictment?
- Why did the US Atty step in prior to the exhausting of the administrative law remedies, when Roberts’ case was still being adjudicated? What was the rush?
- Does this extraordinary prosecution represent another abdication of prosecutorial discretion by US Atty Biskupic, in favor of achieving the political end of the politicized Bush DoJ?
The Roberts family, friends, and a lot of vets are looking for answers.
