Bloch, who has also been under investigation for allegedly retaliating against career employees and obstructing an investigation, was being questioned at his Washington, D.C. office on Tuesday morning, according to the NPR sources.

You have to love the irony of the office that's set up to protect whistle blowers allegedly hanging the whistle blowers out to dry.

There's a reason Bush appointed Bloch. The mob wouldn't have to bribe the DA if the crime boss could simply appoint him.

"OSC employees for months have called on President Bush to ask for Bloch's resignation. The White House today declined to comment on the developments, as did Bloch's lawyers and the FBI."
