It looks like Scott Bloch, the former special counsel to President George W. Bush, may get his day in court, after all. The Legal Times blog reported Tuesday afternoon that federal prosecutors will not object to Bloch's request to withdraw his guilty plea to a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge.
The reason for his change of heart? Bloch learned that his guilty plea could mean at least a month in the slammer—not the probation he had expected.
So, Bloch wants a do-over.
Say goodbye to the chastened Bloch who wanted to take responsibility for his actions. Say hello to the bitter, conspiracy-minded Bloch who recently filed a $202 million lawsuit against a strange collection of defendants, apparently including everyone who may have ever criticized him. http://tinyurl.com/3luff6f
