Excerpt -

WASHINGTON -- Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided the Office of Special Counsel here, seizing computers and documents belonging to the agency chief Scott Bloch and staff.

More than a dozen FBI agents served grand jury subpoenas shortly after 10 a.m., shutting down the agency's computer network and searching its offices, as well as Mr. Bloch's home. Employees said the searches appeared focused on alleged obstruction of justice by Mr. Bloch during the course of an 2006 inquiry into his conduct in office.

If stuff suddenly appears in the media and there is no source, no real face associated with it, if you suddenly get this trickle of negative crap which is all baseless popping up everywhere in the news, then the red BS flag should go up. -IMHO

[SeaHawkFan]

...but I do not trust fbi.

Based on personal experience, neither do I.

****Before the departure of White House political director Karl Rove, Mr. Bloch's staff was looking into whether he or other White House officials improperly used federal agencies to help re-elect Republicans in 2006.****

Paybacks a bitch.

LOL, look at ABC’s headline!

FBI Raids Bush Official’s Office

Can ABC get any dumber? It’s an office that investigates the White House but is required to be nominated by the White House and confirmed by the Senate under the law.

According to the wiki on Bloch, from the very start he has been the target of the homosexual lobby, who have done their level best to destroy him.

I wonder how many lives they need to ruin, how many laws they need to pass, and how much cultural damage they need to do before they realize, that it's not working. How long before they realize that the nagging anxiety, mental discomfort and shame and guilt that drives them is not being caused by everyone else? How long before they realize that their problems and suffering are coming from within?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I doubt that such a realization would help much because if you examine homosexuals, you find that a much higher percentage of them than the population as a whole have *other* problems.

Not just mental, but physical as well. Often they mask such problems by assuming they have a sexual origin, when that is far from the case.

Unfortunately, they are strongly averse to having a study done to find out what else they should become aware of as common problems. And in truth, there are those that would use such information to assert that homosexuals are defectives.

It does point out what you said, however, that projecting personal problems onto others is ineffective in finding remedies to those problems. But projection seems to afflict a LOT of people.

[ElkGroveDan]

It's simpler than that. What they are doing is demented immoral and depraved and they know it. They are in denial on the surface, but deep down they are very unhappy because they continue to do what their instincts tell them is wrong and just plain abnormal. It's the same problem with the women who are in denial over abortions they have had. Both groups look to bury their pain by seeking society's sanction of the behavior they regret. Of course, thee is no relief so they just keep striking out at society harder and harder. Some figure it out, must do not and live very angry lives of pain and regret.

[Gondring]

If Bloch was destroying evidence and obstructing justice, I don’t care who exposes it or their agenda.

And being a Republican shouldn't be a free pass for abuse of power. It's about time he's gone, whether guilty of this accusation or not.

Don’t know if this has been posted, but check this out:

Excerpt:

[That’s quite an abrupt change from the previous OSC special counsel, Clinton appointee Elaine Kaplan — a union-friendly, open lesbian. It’s not surprising that many of the staffers who liked Kaplan don’t like Bloch. What is amazing is that the current and former OSC employees who bring these allegations fear retaliation from the very office established to protect federal employees from such retaliation. “I really do think he’ll take reprisal action” against subordinates for speaking to the Phoenix, says one current employee, who asked that his name not be used. “Folks are really quite terrified.”]

They’re “terrified”. LOL. What a crock of bs. This is an obvious hit job. Now the MSM is trying desperately to cover up this angle (read latest on Yahoo News) and is making the Bush admin look like the boogeyman targeting him as Bloch was investigating some in the administration. Very clever, but not quite good enough.

Make sure you read the comments after the article.

Posters on this site are spreading rumours that Bloch is a wacko, anti-gay, anti-Semetic Catholic bigot who is part of a secret, worldwide cabal of Catholics who want to take over the world. LOL.

(shakes head) Some days, I really wonder how the world still manages to function.

If he let those “Geeks On Call” luzers anywhere near a computer containing confidential government documents, that’s reason enough to fire him and prosecute him for criminal negligence right there.

doubt that.. it is so easy a caveman can do it.
