Welcome to Gonzales Watch - Blawging the Ex-Attorney General

The Senate Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena this morning (See below) for ex-White House Counsel Harriet Miers.

The subponea directs her, in part, to give the Committee by July 12, 2007 “[c]omplete and unredacted versions, including paper and electronic versions, of any and all documents in your possession, custody or control related to the Committee’s investigation into the preservation of prosecutorial independence and the Department of Justice’s politicization of the hiring and firing of United States Attorneys.”

You can read Harriet Mier’s subpoena here:

Rep. John Conyers, Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary said: “Let me be clear: this subpoena is not a request, it is a demand on behalf of the American people for the White House to make available the documents and individuals we are requesting to help us answer the questions that remain. The breadcrumbs in this investigation have always led to 1600 Pennsylvania. This investigation will not end until the White House complies with the demands of this subpoena in a timely and reasonable manner so that we may get to the bottom of this.”
