Sloan's appearance on "Hardball" upset U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton - who was asked by Sloan Wednesday to quash a subpoena
Wilson received from Libby's attorneys to appear as a defense witness in the Libby trial.
Judge Walton warned Sloan, the court "will not hesitate to take the necessary action to insure that the ability of the parties to obtain a fair trial is not impaired."
Earlier this year Walton warned both Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald and attorneys for Libby from making what he described as "extrajudicial statements" about the case.
The judge warned Sloan, "This admonition applies with equal force to any collateral matters that may impact the parties ability to obtain a fair trial, such as a movant like Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who has moved to quash the subpoena that has been served on him as a potential witness in this matter."
More on the story.
Too late, Walton. This case has been tried in the public's eye since day one...
