SACRAMENTO — A State Bar Court judge has recommended that Scott Bloch, former head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, be barred from practicing law for 30 days for his role in the deletion of files from federally owned computers.
Bloch, appointed by former President George W. Bush to the Office of Special Counsel in 2003, had a troubled five-year tenure leading the agency that advocates for federal whistleblowers. By early 2005, he was under investigation for allegedly retaliating against whistleblowers who brought concerns to his office. He was advised that year by the Office of Personnel Management’s inspector general to retain any documents related to the complaint.
