Is this a thing?

The State is reporting that the SC Attorney General, Alan Wilson, is "blocking" a corruption investigation into the SC General Assembly.

This seems weird. Apparently, Wilson is instructing a clerk not to administer an oath to a special prosecutor (Paschoe) who is assigned to the case, so now Paschoe is asking the SC Supreme Court to order the clerk to give him the oath so he can go forward with his investigation.

Weird.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
