 A summary of the Teapot Dome scandal from the Brookings Institution
Roberts and Pomerene "were 'specially retained' by the Attorney General of the United States, to serve as special assistants to the Attorney General," and in prosecuting Fall, worked with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and another counsel retained by the Attorney General.
Pomerene then met with Senator Walsh who was "rather disposed to favor the repeal of the section extending the statute of limitations to six years, so as to leave the old exemption stand at three years." Letter from Atlee Pomerene, Special Counsel, to Owen Roberts, Special Counsel, 1 (December 10, 1927).
Pomerene wrote back to Everhart, apologizing for the inconvenience but said it was "impossible for us to excuse you" because "[t]he testimony which you have in the Sinclair case is competent in the present case." Letter from Atlee Pomerene, Special Counsel, to M.T. Everhart (September 24, 1929).

 The Story
Pomerene advised Newell he had promised President Hoover that Squire, Sander and Dempsey would continue in its RFC representation.
On the same day that Pomerene accepted the appointment, Newell proceeded to the local RFC headquarters in the Federal Reserve Bank and opened a satellite office for Squire, Sanders and Dempsey's lawyers.
Shortly after Franklin Roosevelt took office in 1933, he replaced Pomerene as head of the RFC, but the firm continued the representation.

 The Neil Rogers Show - News - An open letter to Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald from former White House Counsel John ...
As I am sure you are aware, President Calvin Coolidge appointed Owen J. Roberts, a Philadelphia attorney at the time, and former U.S. Senator Atlee Pomerene, then practicing law in Ohio, as special counsels to investigate and prosecute on behalf of the government any wrongdoing related to the so-called Teapot Dome inquiry.
I urge you to send a member of your staff to do the same, for they are highly revealing as to the aggressive -- yet appropriate -- nature of their investigation and actions.
What you will find is that Roberts and Pomerene, before figuring out exactly who was to blame and going after them, first sought to protect the interest of the United States by ending the further dissipation of the nation's oil reserves to Doheny and Sinclair, and seek restitution.
