I’m sorry. But I don’t think that cuts it as a denial. That roving band of reporters finally caught up with Sen. Domenici (R-NM) regarding the Iglesias firing matter. So was he one of the guys who called?
According to the AP he said, “I don’t have any comment. I have no idea what he’s [i.e., Iglesias] talking about.”
The AP called that a denial. But I’m sorry. That’s not a denial. Each of the other members of the New Mexico congressional delegation had little trouble making a clear denial. ‘I don’t know what he’s talking about’ is almost the definition of a non-denial-denial.
And Heather Wilson (R-NM), the other probable caller? Heck, she wouldn’t even get that close to the flame. “You should contact the Department of Justice on that personnel matter,” Wilson told the AP.
The House has now issued a subpoena for Iglesias to come and testify about what he knows. The senate seems certain to do the same. There are only five members of the New Mexico delegation. Iglesias says two pressured him with calls. Three of them have categorically denied it. The leaves Wilson and Domenici.
Someone’s lying. There are only six players involved. It shouldn’t be hard to find out who.
