The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), has just voted along party lines to cite former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and current White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten for contempt of Congress.  The resolution will now go to the floor of the House for a full vote, probably in a couple of days.

Have you ever wondered what exactly embattled, scandal-ridden politicians have to pay in legal fees?  The Washington Post has a partial list of legals fees for the first three months of 2007 alone:

RNC: $500,000 last month alone. No official statement, but it's known that the RNC is still paying bills concerning the New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal.

Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL): $4,800 paid and $5,149 unpaid legal bills. The FEC has cited his 2004 campaign for problematic contributions to the tune of $800,000.

Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL): $70,000 paid and $20,000 unpaid bills. Two words: Mark Foley.

Mark Foley himself: more than $200,000. And much more to come, I'm sure.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH): $52,533. Well, this is news to me. Boehner has a long-running lawsuit against Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) stemming from an illegally-recorded phone call.

DSCC: $50,466. They say this is their normal quarterly retainer for help complying with election laws.

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI): $75,000. His office says they don't know what these legal fees are for. Yeah, that sounds strange to me, too. If you know anything about this, fill us in in the comments.

Former Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT): $120,000 from his leftover campaign funds. No concrete details, but Burns has long and storied ties to Jack Abramoff.

Former Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA): $132,025. The FBI is investigating contracts Weldon's daughter received while he was in office.

Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA): $13,516 so far. And sure to skyrocket.
