Scott Bloch, head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), is under investigation by the Office of Personnel Management and the the FBI. They raided his offices this week looking for evidence of mishandled funds and discriminatory practices. Now, GOP legislators are calling for him to step down.
For those keeping score at home: that's 2 agencies of the executive branch investigating a third, with Congress providing its unwanted opinion from the bleachers.
Silly question: What's with all the rigamarole? Bloch is a political appointee, serving at the pleasure of the president. Instead of investigating him, why doesn't Bush just oust him? Cui Bono?
