The L A Times says they have gotten their hands on a letter from Scott J. Bloch, head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel asking Mukasey some questions I'm sure he should be asked come Wed. when he is set to testify for the first time since his nomination hearings. Hopefully this news will reach those Senators doing the questioning before then.


WASHINGTON -- The government agency that enforces one of the principal laws aimed at keeping politics out of the civil service has accused the Justice Department of blocking its investigation into alleged politicizing of the department under former Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales.

Scott J. Bloch, head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, wrote Atty. Gen. Michael B. Mukasey last week that the department had repeatedly "impeded" his investigation by refusing to share documents and provide answers to written questions, according to a copy of Bloch's letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
