The Silent Senator (and Rep.) From New Mexico
How are Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. Heather Wilson handling the revelation that they contacted a federal prosecutor with the apparent desire to gain a political advantage by influencing the timing of an indictment? They don't want to discuss it.
Mr. Domenici has apologized, saying he was not seeking to intimidate Mr. Iglesias. The senator did not respond to requests for an interview.Ms. Wilson, after first declining to confirm her own call to Mr. Iglesias, conceded that she had made it but denied trying to pressure the prosecutor. She also declined to be interviewed.
A broadly exculpatory denial followed by an exercise of the right to remain silent.
