Former Special Counsel Scott Bloch finds out today not if he's headed for jail: he'll find out how long he'll spend in the slammer. Bloch headed the Special Council office under the Bush administration. He plead guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from erasure of computer data and withholding information from Congress. U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson ruled yesterday that
Bloch cannot withdraw his guilty plea. Bloch had argued he only pleaded guilty thinking he would get probation, and not jail time. He faces a minimum sentence of one month behind bars.
