Harriet Miers Refuses to Appear
by QuestionGirl

Ok, enough nicey nice. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

WASHINGTON - Former White House aide Harriet Miers will continue to refuse to appear before a House committee, her lawyer said Tuesday despite Democrats’ threats to hold her in contempt.

“Ms. Miers will not appear before the committee or otherwise produce documents or provide testimony,” lawyer George T. Manning said in a letter to the committee.

The House Judiciary Committee had given Miers, President Bush’s former legal counsel who defied a subpoena to appear before the committee, until Tuesday to change her mind about testifying. Lawmakers have been investigating whether the White House was involved in the dismissals of eight federal prosecutors.

“Her failure to comply with our subpoena is a serious affront to this committee and our constitutional system of checks and balances,” House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., said. “We are carefully planning our next steps.”
