CASE EFFECTIVENESS:
First, we established — FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LEGAL HISTORY — that
political cronyism is a valid basis for a claim of
arbitrary-and-capricious agency action under the Administrative Procedure
Act. See Case One, 118 F. Supp. 3d 38, 78–79 (D.D.C. 2015). Second, we
prevailed in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit on our appeal of the district court’s ruling that an
agency may escape judicial review of its action by requesting a voluntary
remand but refusing to reconsider its initial denial of an application.
See Case Two, 857 F.3d 379 (D.C. Cir. 2017). The D.C. Circuit agreed with
us that an agency may only seek a remand if it promises to reconsider its
initial decision. It is because of that victory that DOE is now
reconsidering the ATVM application under Federal Court order and we are
using GAO, FBI and Congressional oversight offices to assure effective
ethics and transparency. Third, we placed, on permanent public record, one
of the most detailed documentation sets, ever assembled, about how modern
political "Dark Money" conduits operate. This prevents the use of those
kinds of criminal efforts, in the future, by exposing the tactics to the
public. Fourth, Our Team engaged in the interdiction and termination of
corrupt agency executives, contractors and their financiers. Fifth, and
most important, we put every corrupt political scheme on notice that they
WILL be found out and interdicted!
