The Washington Post’s Christopher Lee and Carrie Johnson lay out the unusual corruption case of Scott Bloch, director of the Office of Special Counsel. Tuesday, the FBI raided the special counsel’s office and now more than a dozen current and former agency employees have been asked to testify before a grand jury.

What Bloch is being investigated for is still not clear. Lee and Johnson do provide several instances of the watchdog agency’s investigations of political interference that may have just been covering up Bloch’s own inappropriate conduct. But the biggest charge is that Bloch hired a tech company to erase the special counsel’s computer hard drives—an allegation that’s been made since 2006. Perhaps the FBI has since uncovered enough evidence to end this Bloch party.  Read Lee and Johnson here.  MB
