Last Aug. 29, U.S District Judge S. James Otero entered a federal judgment against the defendants for violating the Administrative Procedures Act with nine separate real estate dealings that were “unauthorized by law and therefore void.” All nine illegal agreements are with non-Veteran entities for non-Veteran use at the expense of tens of thousands of disabled, homeless Veterans who have been discriminatorily and “permanently banned” from this sacred property by VA Secretary Eric T. Shinseki and his Los Angeles staff.

Second in a series. One of the unlawful contracts by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is with her affluent, influential friends in a neighboring community, adjacent to the VA property. A 30-year agreement was manipulated to build a public park on Veterans’ property “for the enjoyment of the entire community.” Meanwhile, tens of thousands of disabled, disadvantaged Veterans have been exiled, forced into …
Sen. Feinstein Rewards Rich Cronies at the Expense of Veterans
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) continues to violate her public, trust which already has linked her to the misappropriation of federal VA property that rewards her wealthy, powerful friends while punishing war-injured and impoverished homeless Veterans.
