LIBBY LAWYER THEODORE WELLS “We are very disappointed with the verdict of the jury… We intend to file a motion for a new trial and if that is denied, we will appeal the conviction and we have every confidence that ultimately Mr. Libby will be vindicated. We believe… that he is totally innocent, totally innocent and that he did not do anything wrong.” SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID “I welcome the jury’s verdict. It’s about time someone in the Bush Administration has been held accountable for the campaign to manipulate intelligence and discredit war critics. Lewis Libby has been convicted of perjury, but his trial revealed deeper truths about Vice President Cheney’s role in this sordid affair. Now President Bush must pledge not to pardon Libby for his criminal conduct.”
