WTF Is It Now?!?

Throw her contemptible ass in the slammer
Harriet Miers blows off Congress with the help of the "Justice" Department.

The Boy King has told his former White House counsel, Harriet Miers, not to even appear on Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee investigating the firings of United States attorneys, the committee chairman said. It had been expected that Ms. Miers would appear and would decline to answer certain questions, but noooooooooo.

So, what is the White House trying to hide?

Fun fact via TPM:

Invoking a privilege is one thing, but telling a person not to show up in response to a subpoena -- if only to actually invoke the privilege -- is quite another. It's not just worse, it's a felony under federal criminal law. See for yourself:

18 U.S.C. Sec. 1505 : Whoever corruptly ... influences, obstructs, or impedes the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress ... [s]hall be fined under this title, [or] imprisoned not more than 5 years or both.

18 U.S.C. Sec. 1515(b): As used in section 1505, the term "corruptly" means acting with an improper purpose, personally or by influencing another, including ... withholding, [or] concealing information.

She may now face contempt charges, or she would if there were actually any justice. As if.
