Scott Bloch gets raided by the FBI
Bloch also has a tie to the Sternberg case, the crown jewel of "Expelled," in that one of his like-minded appointees, James McVay, a man with no previous experience in employment law, whistleblower law, or federal sector work, took on the Sternberg case and wrote a preliminary report on it despite having no jurisdiction. His preliminary report managed to draw conclusions in contradiction to the actual evidence.
UPDATE: The New York Times also covers the story.
UPDATE (October 27, 2008): Scott Bloch has been fired.
UPDATE (March 30, 2011): Scott Bloch has been sentenced to a month in jail for destroying evidence on his computer.

I was listening to this news on NPR yesterday - and I was a bit distracted because I was ordering food from a drive through - but I think I recall that Block hired a computer tech to scrub his computer files, claiming that he was simply getting rid of a virus.
Have I just not been paying attention during previous administrations, or is this an alarmingly absurd number of scandals that this administration has racked up?
D'oh! That's what I get for commenting before clicking the links.
