e-Records Haunt OSC Chief

Richard W. Walker writes on FCW.com:

Following a raid by federal authorities on the U.S. Office of Special Counsel last week, critics of embattled OSC chief Scott Bloch are questioning whether the office can continue to carry out its mission with Bloch leading it. OSC protects federal employees from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistle-blowing.

Two members of Congress have called for Bloch to resign, and other observers question whether the office can be effective with its controversial chief under renewed scrutiny.

Federal agents raided Bloch’s office in Washington and his home May 6, seizing computer files and documents as part of an ongoing investigation into possible obstruction of justice. Bloch had not been arrested or charged with a crime as this issue went to press.
