Bush tells Harriet Miers not to show up to testify tomorrow at House Judiciary Hearing
Harriet Miers was expected to testify tomorrow before the House Judiciary Committee about the U.S. Attorneys scandal. Today, her former boss, George Bush, told Miers not to appear:
President Bush ordered his former White House counsel, Harriet Miers, to defy a congressional subpoena and refuse to testify Thursday before a House panel investigating U.S. attorney firings.
"Ms. Miers has absolute immunity from compelled congressional testimony as to matters occurring while she was a senior adviser to the president," White House Counsel Fred Fielding wrote in a letter to Miers' lawyer, George T. Manning.
Ms Miers
I have to wonder if the immunity coverage also applies to the lowly domestic staff that serves the executive branch ?
There are some rumors that the seemly inability for Mr. Bush to talk coherently after one of his ranch vacations is due to smoking weed.
Anyway that is the rumor from folks who cater meals to the ranch. Will execuive privilege cover this to. ?

We see here Bush enforcing his code of silence. One wonders if he has any other mafiosi-type moves to enforce the code of silence. For example, there is his pal Putin.
