Talk:Harriet Miers

message: On the entry for Karl Rove there is a box showing her as the previous Deputy White House Chief of Staff. There should be similar box here, with her predecessor, and Rove as her successor. --grr 08:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deputy White House Chief of Staff 

message: I believe this:
"As of January 4th, 2006, she has submitted her resignation from the position"
Should be changed to: January 4th, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.207.165.23 (talk) 19:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Resignation Errata 

message: This is a widening scandal, but there is now email evidence that Miers suggested, in 2005, that the Attorney General, via the White House, remove and replace all 97 U.S. Attorneys. They didn't heed her adice, but did fire 8 U.S. Attorneys, all Democrats, all with positive job evaluations, and replaced them without Congressional confrimation. 
Here's the link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031201818_pf.html
::This text is from the NY Times 3/13/07 article "‘Mistakes’ Made on Prosecutors, Gonzales Says" By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and JEFF ZELENY.
::Congressional Democrats, who are investigating whether the White House was meddling in Justice Department affairs for political reasons, demanded that President Bush and his chief political adviser, Karl Rove, explain their roles in the dismissals.
::With Mr. Bush traveling in Mexico, 'the White House insisted that the president’s role had been minimal and laid the blame primarily on Harriet E. Miers, who was White House counsel when the prosecutors lost their jobs and who stepped down in January.
::“The White House did not play a specific role in the list of the seven U.S. attorneys,” said Dan Bartlett, Mr. Bush’s counselor, referring to a Justice Department roster of those to be dismissed. But he said the White House, through Ms. Miers’s office, ultimately “signed off on the list.”
and now it looks like the white house is retreating from this position:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/16/AR2007031601046.html
"The White House retreated today from its claim that former counsel Harriet E. Miers first came up with the idea of firing U.S. attorneys, another apparent shift in the Bush administration's evolving version of events behind the controversy."

thread_title: Miers involved in the '06-'07 U.S. Attorney firing scandal

message: The opening line reads
: Harriet Ellan Miers (born 10 August 1945) is an American lawyer and former White House Counsel. On 4 January 2007, she submitted her resignation from the position of White House Counsel, effective 31 January 2007.
While I grant there's an odd irony, the opening paragraph makes it sound as if her crowning achievement is her resignation. Can't we do better than that?
(BTW, for this section, I added the year to a date where it wasn't clear and used international dates, because the article may be of international interest.)
