The following documents

make false statements and misrepresentations of material facts and further caused the D.C. Department of Human Rights, the D.C. Corporation Counsel, The D.C. Superior Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals to make false statements about my employment at the D.C. law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld (March 1988 to October 20, 1991) in probable violation of the following  provision of the U.S. Code.

Precisely why the U.S. Department of Justice has decided not to investigate this matter is a mystery.  I will note that the Attorney General of the United States is a personal friend of a senior management attorney at Akin Gump.  That management attorney reportedly tried to buy the silence in the 1990s of an individual who had incriminating evidence that might lead to the impeachment of a former President of the United States.  The head of the criminal division at the Justice Department is a former law partner of the Attorney General.

On January 15, 2010 I advised the U.S. Marshal that my Social Security disability claim was a "total fraud."  The U.S. Marshal expressly refused to make a referral to the FBI and further advised that the kind of fraud I was alleging was "probably of a nature that was too difficult for the FBI to investigate."

There is apparent reason to believe that an obstruction of justice by private attorneys and employees of the U.S. Department of Justice has occurred and that the Justice Department  has actively sought to intimidate me from speaking out about this matter.
