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.The independent agency, created by Congress in the wake of the
Watergate scandal, is charged with protecting federal employees and
deciding whether their complaints merit full-scale investigation — a
first line of defense against fraud and mismanagement in government. It
also enforces a ban on U.S. employees engaging in partisan political
activity.
