Wilsons' Statement on Libby Sentencing
NOTE: Joe Wilson will be on Keith Olbermann's Countdown tonight at 8pm ET, on MSNBC. ('course, we need to keep an eye on the GOP debate on CNN at 7pm ET to see if Wolf Blitzer asks the candidates about Libby's sentencing today.)
Via Leslie, a regular contributor: Talk Left received this statement in an e-mail from Joe and Valerie Wilson's representative:
As Americans, both Valerie and I are grateful that justice has been served, reconfirming that our country remains a nation of laws.
We are also saddened for the pain that Mr. Libby has inflicted on his family, friends, and the nation. Mr. Libby benefited from the best this country had to offer: the finest schools, a lucrative career as a lawyer and many years of service in Republican administrations. That he would knowingly lie, perjure himself and obstruct a legitimate criminal investigation is incomprehensible.
It is our hope that he will now cooperate with Special Counsel Fitzgerald in his efforts to get to the truth. As Mr. Fitzgerald has said, a cloud remains over the Vice President.
Every official in this administration must be held accountable for their actions.
