UPDATE: Miers pushed out?

The White House strongly hinted that White House Counsel Harriet Miers’s departure had been encouraged. She had a “series of conversations in recent days” with Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, Snow said, and “she made her decision yesterday,” i.e. Wednesday. People close to the White House say Bolten had hoped to make a change in the counsel’s office when he took over in the spring of 2006. Miers’s style didn’t mesh well with that of the crisply organized former investment banker, people who know them say.
