[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What type of investigation is this?  The outcome of most investigations by Office of Special Counsel are presented as recommendations to your Agency.  Sometimes they just send a letter closing the case.  Sometimes they recommend discipline if the Merit Systems Principles were violated.

Does OSC know you lied?  If so, they will probably recommend that your Agency discipline you, probably for "Lack of Candor during an investigation," which could mean removal from the federal service, or it could mean a reprimand or suspension, but since we have no idea what this investigation is about, and how serious your lie was, and how the disciplinary action would play out at your agency, it's hard to say.

As for Bar actions, it's up to your Agency ethics counsel to decide whether a Lack of Candor charges violates your state ethics rules where you are barred.  At my agency, we don't do bar referral for something like this.  When we do, the bars tell us to handle it administratively.   We only do bar referral for crimes.

What if special counsel doesn't do anything? Just advise agency of candor and nothing else.[/quote]
