Question Presented (from Petition)

#1 - "If the allegations occurred of obstruction of justice, fraud on the court,
and evidence tampering, which led to prejudicial losses with harmful error, can the
CAVC and CAFC ignore it, or should they have gotten involved, and if they can
disregard it, does this lead to an absurd legal position that cheating is okay, and
thus should be abandoned forthwith? "

#2 - "Can the CAVC and CAFC replace allegations of cheating with
unsuitable statements such as 'We don't have the jurisdiction to readjudicate the
claim facts, ' especially when the the Justice lawyer agreed that the evidence had
been switched? "

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the CAVC and CAFC improperly dismissed allegations of evidence tampering and government misconduct in a veterans' disability claim
