Beware! The White House wants your Christmas list (especially if you are investigating Karl Rove)!
Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch has the job of investigating Karl Rove's illegal deployment of government employees in Republican political campaigns. Naturally, the White House is battling back in every possible way to protect and defend their boy Karl. We already know how the White House feels about allowing convicted felons to escape responsibility for their felonious acts, right? So, it should come as no surprise that the White House would launch a seek and destroy mission against the Special Counsel charged with bringing yet another Bush minion to justice.
The laptop computers in Special Counsel Bloch's office suffered either a virus or some other network or hard drive malfunction and the hard drives had to be wiped (erased) and operating system reloaded. This was done.
At some point in this process, Special Counsel Bloch asked the "geek squad" tech guys who were handling the laptop business if they could save any of his personal files such as his Christmas shopping list, personal family photos, private communications with Bloch's personal attorney, and so on. The usual non-job-related stuff one might accumulate on a computer.
Whether or not Special Counsel Bloch ought to have been using a work computer to store personal files may be a question to answer at some point.
For this latest installment of the Rove scandal, however, it is enough to say that Special Counsel Bloch was able to transfer some personal files to a "thumb drive" that he now keeps on his keychain.
And because he was able to save his Christmas shopping list, the White House wants to completely derail the investigation of their boy Karl and his illegal activities.
The White House wants possession of those personal files and Special Counsel Bloch refuses to turn them over.
You see, when Special Counsel Bloch began investigating Karl Rove, the White House began a retaliatory investigation of Special Counsel Bloch. The "Office of Personnel Management" has even demanded access to Special Counsel Bloch's personal emails.
This White House agency claims they are investigating Bloch for the very thing Bloch himself is charged with investigating - government retaliation against whistleblowers.
A tangled web indeed...
