The Irony at the Office of Special Counsel

Many MSM sources (such as the New York Times and CNN)and blogs (like Talk Left) are now reporting that the Office of Special Counsel was raided by the FBI today, along with the home of agency head Scott Bloch. Bloch and his agency are under investigation for obstruction of justice stemming from an ongoing probe in which Bloch and other managers at the OSC -- the agency responsible for investigating federal whistleblower complaints -- are suspected of retaliating against whistleblowers in that agency.


Mr. Bloch has been under investigation since 2005, and today's events are in no doubt related to the fact that he used a private computer service company (Geeks on Call) to erase his personal and office computers during the time of the investigation.
