from rawstory.comThe U.S. Office of Special Counsel Scott Bloch -- whose home and office were recently raided by the FBI --last year shut down a previously undisclosed investigation into the federal prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, according to an internal memo made public Wednesday.
The investigation was being conducted by a task force formed at the agency a year ago to pursue high-profile political investigations in Washington, most notably whether the White House played politics in firing U.S. attorneys. It began gathering information on the Siegelman case in September and was planning to request documents from the Justice Department in October before Special Counsel Scott Bloch ordered the case closed, according to the Jan. 18 draft memo, made public by the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group.
This is really getting good.
I continue to anticipate something of a spectacle in politics and it's not as far off as it used to be.
More popcorn, baby!
This is like a B52 flying under the radar.
Bloch is the guy who sent his computer out to have the hard drive specially wiped (to "clean it of viruses") as Congress started delving into the White House email mess. Apparently he saved some information on a couple of thumb drives that agents found while doing a "full-body" search of Bloch himself during the raid. (Can't help but wonder uh...exactly where they found them.)
So far, except for a brief mention on NPR this morning, the MSM appear to be ignoring this whole affair. There is indeed some major shit in flight, but someone keeps moving the fan.
