Sorry, it was Carol Lam. I blanked out on her name when I was typing. And here is another nugget from the House committee website of document dumps: Scott Jennings, deputy to Rove, and Miers tried to intervene with DOJ in the Rep. Rick Renzi investigation.

Former White House press secretary knew about the U.S. Attorney firing scheme. This was one of the documents found in the House committee website and posted on Talking Points Memo. TPM has an image of an email chain from November 2006 where a number of people are informed for the first time about the plan to fire the US Attorneys, including Press Secretary Dana Perino. The email makes it quite clear that everyone understood the potential for "political upheaval" or "political fallout" from implementing the plan. Only 4 minutes after receiving this email, Perino replies with, "Someone get me the oxygen can!!" Another recipient responds by identifying "issues in the press for which Dana will need the oxygen can," including the fact that one of the attorneys to be fired had been the Duke Cunningham prosecutor. Perino responds: "Give me a double shot -- I can't breathe." http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/dana_perino_on_attorney_firings_scheme_i_cant_brea.php And to add to this explosive story.
