This is very fertile ground. But I'm not optimistic about it's success:

The LAT goes inside with a look at how there's likely to be more trouble ahead for the Bush administration as the Office of Special Counsel, "an obscure federal investigative unit," prepares to delve "into one of the most sensitive and potentially explosive issues in Washington." The office will carry out a broad investigation into political operations at the White House that will look into the firing of at least one U.S. attorney, the infamous missing e-mails, and the way in which officials briefed different agencies about Republican electoral priorities. This means the Office of Special Counsel, in the most "high-profile inquiry in its history," will be looking directly at operations headed by Karl Rove.

Sometimes breakthroughs occur in the most unusual ways ... the unpredictable ways. I think those who care about the American way should keep swingin' at these guys.

Update: So much for this investigation. I should have known it was too good to be true. This investigation looks just like calling in Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction:

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC), headed up by highly controversial presidential appointee Scott Bloch, is the wrong entity for this investigation. The fact that OSC has been charged with handling these matters suggests the possibility that the White House is orchestrating a cover-up of its illegal and improper activities.

Bloch has come under widespread criticism for his gross mismanagement and politicization of the office. Bloch is currently under investigation by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for his mistreatment of career appointees, who have alleged the exact kind of retaliation that OSC is designed to investigate. OSC employees have alleged that Bloch has tossed out legitimate whistleblower cases to reduce the office backlog. The probe into Bloch’s conduct has been stymied by the fear of OSC staff that speaking to investigators will result in reprisal. Prominent conservatives, who support Bloch in part because he adopted a sexual orientation policy that makes it more difficult for gay employees to allege discrimination, have called on President Bush to protect Bloch from the OPM investigation.
