FBI Raids Government Whistleblower Office

What the heck? The FBI has raided the office of the Special Council responsible for making sure government whistleblowers are not persecuted.

The FBI has raided the office of U.S. Special Counsel Scott Bloch in an inquiry of whether he obstructed justice by having his computer files erased.

FBI officials said computers and documents were seized from Bloch's office during the raid Tuesday morning.

Investigators say Bloch is suspected of hiring an outside company to scrub his computer amid a federal investigation of alleged misconduct in his office.

The inquiry has been under way for more than a year and is looking into charges of intimidation and retaliation against whistle-blowers among staff members working in Bloch's agency.

The Office of Special Counsel is responsible protecting the rights of federal workers and ensuring that government whistle-blowers are not subjected to reprisals. - The New York Times

The office responsible for protecting against reprisals against whistleblowers is suspected of carrying out reprisals against whistleblowers.

Talk about the politicization of justice. Talk about the foxes guarding the henhouse. Talk about a government whose purpose is to pervert the purpose of government. This is beyond reprehensible into the realm of bizzare, Stalinist statism.

And still, 28% support President Bush. Unbelievable.
