LAT investigates the investigator

Today, LAT investigative reporter Tom Hamburger, in a front page article, describes Scott J. Bloch, Special Counsel, U. S. Office of the Special Counsel. Bloch is the Democrats' "white hope" in that he has the job of investigating whether Karl Rove's organization violated the Hatch Act, which makes it unlawful for government assets and resources to be used for political purposes.

On the one hand, Bloch is thought to be a Bushie. There is a suspicion he may be religious, for example. And some think he doesn't like gays. Worse, he has seven children. So, some think he isn't to be trusted.

But so far there's no evidence he doesn't do his job. Thus, the LAT investigates the investigator.
