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.
