Earlier testimony in the congressional investigation made it clear
that Taylor and Miers were both intimately involved in various aspects
of the firing of the US Attorneys which got underway at the end of
2006.
D. Kyle Sampson, the former chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales, noted in his May 29 appearance that "I remember speaking
with Harriet Miers and Bill Kelley about that. Sometimes this subject
would come up after a Judicial Selection Committee meeting, which was
a once-a-week meeting that happened in the Roosevelt Room."
He added, "The issue of replacing U.S. attorneys most frequently came
up as sort of a pull-aside after a Judicial Selection meeting."
Former Justice Department White House Liaison Monica Goodling also
suggested Taylor had been a key decision-maker in the Attorneys
firings in June.

The White House appeared set for an expanded showdown with
congressional investigators in the probe of the firing of eight US
Attorneys over the weekend.
An attorney for Sara Taylor, a former top aide to White House adviser
Karl Rove, notified the Senate that she was unlikely to appear before
the Senate Judiciary Committee July 11.
At the same time, former Counsel to President George W. Bush Harriet
Miers told RAW STORY she did not know if she would appear before the
House Judiciary Committee July 12.
An attorney for Taylor informed the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee that the White House sought to block her testimony.
"Ms. Taylor expects to receive a letter from Mr. Fielding on behalf of
the President directing her not to comply with the Senate's subpoena,"
wrote W. Neil Eggleston, counsel to Taylor, in a Saturday letter to
Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA).
