There is a story in today's Wall Street Journal that describes how Office of Special Counsel (OSC) head Scott Bloch used OSC money to pay "Geeks for hire" to erase his computer hard drive and those of his two deputies using the most sophisicated computer hard drive erasure technology commerically available, while he was being investigated by the Office of Personnel Management IG.
The blogosphere has picked up on this story in a big way, see here, here, and here.
Some leading whistleblower advocacy groups have now, in light of this latest revelation, called upon President Bush to fire Scott Bloch.
But as OSC Watch as detailed, OSC has made 1181 determinations of Hatch Act violations since 1989 without once making its statutory required report of its determination to the involved agency.
Scott Bloch, just like all his predecessors at OSC since 1989, has fundamentally failed to comply with his duty to implement the laws he was appointed to implement.
