http://rawstory.com/news/2007/BREAKING_Miers_rejects_call_to_appear_0717.htmlFormer White House Counsel Harriet Miers has again rejected calls from the House Judiciary Committee to comply with a subpoena for her testimony on the firing of 9 US Attorneys in 2006 and 2007.
"In light of the continuing directives to Ms. Miers and as previously indicated to your Committee, I must respectfully inform you that, directed as she has been to honor the Executive privileges and immunities asserted in this matter, Ms. Miers will not appear before the Committee or otherwise produce documents or provide testimony as set forth in the Committee's subpoena," wrote Miers' attorney, George Manning, in a letter delivered Tuesday to Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. The letter was sent to RAW STORY.
Conyers had set 5 PM, Tuesday, July 17, as the deadline for Miers to make her intentions known about complying with the committee's subpoena. The committee had warned that it would contemplate other actions, including criminal contempt proceedings, if Miers failed to comply with the subpoena.
