Miers Deposed By House Panel Looking Into Attorney Firings
Former White House Counsel Harriet Miers testifies, behind closed doors, after months of wrangling between Congress and members of the Bush administration.

Miers testified Monday, but it remains unclear when Bolten could be deposed.

A senior House Democrat familiar with the inquiry described Bolten as "a tasty little morsel." The senior lawmaker said that Rove "is really the big catch."

But there is still no agreement for Rove to appear.

Though the stakes were high, Miers' quiet visit Monday was a far cry from her trips to Capitol Hill just a few years ago.

Before her Supreme Court nomination was scuttled over questions about her experience, Miers was the subject of a media frenzy in 2005. A cadre of television cameras traced every step of as Miers traveled from meeting to meeting with senators considering whether she was qualified to fill the seat of retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Miers withdrew and Samuel Alito was nominated for the post.

1. My, my, my - so solicitous are they

Private appearances, no indication whether it was under oath or even recorded; sounds more like an informal chat over coffee than actual "testimony." I really had hopes that upon re-taking Congress in 2006, the Democrats were going to start delving into the seamier aspects of the Bush administration, and bring some of their criminality to light.

WTF is this. They should be live on camera, under oath, like Bill Clinton was. Why do they get a pass every time?
