When Jerroll M. Sanders, President and CEO of now-defunct The Writing Company (TWC), learned that Democratic presidential appointees at Treasury and IRS had terminated their federal contract in order to pass it to their non-minority associate, she turned to the United States Department of Justice Public Corruption Unit for help. However, instead of investigating the allegations of contract improprieties, the DOJ allegedly joined the coverup and helped conceal the theft of TWC’s multi-million dollar contract.
According to Sanders, federal officials took drastic measures to prevent TWC from exposing the contract improprieties. They allegedly suspended payments on pipeline invoices despite the 15-day remittance agreement with TWC and refused to pay the $300,000 owed. They also contrived tax debts and snatched funds from Sanders’ and her minor children’s bank accounts. To add to their financial woes, TWC was burdened with multiple financial audits and unwarranted investigations.
In addition, Sanders claims that the IRS and Treasury inspector generals began secretly sullying TWC’s good name by generating documents that disparaged their nearly flawless performance. These documents were used to prevent TWC from securing other federal contracts and convince congressional leaders that the allegations of contract fraud were not credible.
Sanders also states that the IRS inspector general produced two documents to sully TWC’s performance. One document falsely alleged TWC inflated wage rates, colluded with IRS contracting officers to acquire the Notice Redesign Contract, and submitted false billing. The other document, titled Increased Management Attention Is Needed to Ensure the Success of Future Redesign Efforts, claimed TWC’s IRS contract was plagued by project management problems.
The Notice Redesign Contract was one of the most important presidential-level contracts ever secured by a Black Contractor, according to Sanders. She states that TWC’s outstanding performance on the contract challenges the belief that Black firms cannot perform successfully on mega federal contracts.
Sanders is now demanding Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray to disclose the truth about the Notice Redesign Contract termination, the subsequent award to Kleimann Communications Group, and the manner in which federal officials used millions of taxpayer dollars to conceal their improprieties. To learn more about her contract encounter, Sanders invites people to watch her story, My Empty Chair, on YouTube.
