Subpoenas for Harriet Miers, and Sara Taylor

Let the executive privilege battles begin.

Two congressional committees are issuing subpoenas for testimony from former White House counsel Harriet Miers and former political director Sara Taylor on their roles in the firings of eight federal prosecutors, according to two officials familiar with the investigation......

Not yet on the subpoena list is President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, but only because Democrats have not yet finished interviewing those below him, the officials said.

Also: Leahy will likely issue a subpoena for the legal opinions that were used to justify warrantless wiretapping.
