The FBI finally put the mad thump on U.S. Special Counsel Scott Bloch's office today, with a DC grand jury issuing subpoenas for Bloch and a number of OSC employees. His name sound familiar? Well, it should. Since Bloch was appointed by Bush in 2004, the watchdog office charged with protecting federal whistle-blowers has been soaking in controversial allegations of partisan favoritism, homophobic agendas, and political bullying.
