The LA Times reports that Scott Bloch has started his investigation in to multiple White House scandals, including the firing of U.S. Attorneys, the missing e-mails and potential violations of the Hatch Act.  We'll be keeping an eye on this investigation.  As we noted earlier this week, we're skeptical.  But, Bloch claims that his organization has begun:

Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch met with White House Counsel Fred F. Fielding on Thursday as he pushed ahead with an ambitious inquiry into White House political operations.

"I came away believing that the White House intends to cooperate and was glad to open channels of communication," said Bloch, head of the Office of Special Counsel.

Bloch said he and Fielding set up procedures that his agency would use to investigate the firing of at least one U.S. attorney, missing White House e-mails and the distribution of political information to Cabinet agencies.

Bloch's office, with 106 employees, enforces laws to protect federal whistle-blowers and prevent discrimination.
