Rove Finally Under Investigation
The little-known Office of Special Counsel is preparing to investigate the various nefarious dealings of Karl Rove. Liberals rejoice.
The investigation, which will be bolstered in clout and credibility because it is coming from within the administration and not from Congressional Democrats, will look into "the firing of at least one U.S. attorney, missing White House e-mails, and White House efforts to keep presidential appointees attuned to Republican political priorities."
The 106-person Office of Special Counsel has never conducted such a broad and high-profile inquiry in its history. One of its primary missions has been to enforce the Hatch Act, a law enacted in 1939 to preserve the integrity of the civil service....
"We will take the evidence where it leads us," Scott J. Bloch, head of the Office of Special Counsel and a presidential appointee, said in an interview Monday. "We will not leave any stone unturned."
Wow. How long until that guy gets fired? Godspeed, sir.
And I know I shouldn't be greedy, but Rove also had a major role in selling the war to the American public and using it for political gain. Can we investigate him for that, too?
Update: Commenter dmh has a very astute point that I want to draw everyone's attention to: "Rove can now say that he is unable to answer any questions about any of these matters because they are now the subject of a criminal investigation. Is that a good result?"
I'm not sure this investigation is criminal, but no doubt the actions of the Office of Special Counsel will be used as cover by Rove and embattled PR flacks across the Bush Administration. If this investigation drags on and on, allowing Rove to not answer questions about his conduct, while never producing any results, I'm going to wonder if it was orchestrated by the White House to dupe us all. How Rovian would that be?
[Editor's Note: Hey Jonathan, you should also direct people to Dan's great story on the OSC, which is about the dark side of Scott Bloch and his obsession on rooting out "the homosexual agenda" while ignoring tips about murderers, spies, and terrorists. Read that here.]
Be careful what you ask for. The Special Counsel has a reputation as a partisan Republican who has made inconvenient investigations quietly disappear. Further, Rove can now say that he is unable to answer any questions about any of these matters because they are now the subject of a criminal investigation. Is that a good result?
What a whitewash. Once he is cleared by partisan investigation, they can permanently close the case. This is why independent investigations were created.
I can only hope that this criminal investigation does not impede the prosecution of this draft deferring,corrupt,slimy individual.This little man will get what is due him.Apparently,Rove,believes in neither God or Karma...Watch Out!The Truth Will Prevail..
I know Scott Jennings and I do hope all is well.
I looked into this last night when the LA Times broke the story. Bloch is a partisan hack who has done Bush's bidding in rendering the OSC completely ineffective: he destroyed all whistleblower protections, reversed the sexual orientation discrimination rules, and used the office to go after Democrats while leaving Republicans alone. Why should he do anything different now? This is just a way for the WH to cut off any other investigation.
this guy should look into berger, not rove. berger is the crook.
The investigator is a wingnut doofus who himself has been investigated by other wingnut doofuses. This man doesn't have one shred of creditability. It's the classic wingnut game plan of "investigating" themselves to run out the clock.
ANOTHER BLOCHED JOB.
