FBI probes Clemens
Here is an interesting article that I found in the Toronto Sun. It looks like old Roger is going to get himself into a little hot water.
No one else bought his BS either and because Roger is so arrogant he went forward with this charade. It looks good on him, I guess he thinks he’s the Teflon man or something and nothing will stick to him. Good for you Roger instead of just coming clean and tell the truth much like the way Andy Pettitte did (and you have to respect his honesty) you drag your whole family into this mess. I think it looks good on you, you had the chance to come clean and you didn’t, now because of your pigheaded nature you have tarnished your reputation and wasted a lot of peoples time and money. Good luck Roger I think you will need it.
Maybe your good friend and fellow Texan George W can give you a pardon before he leaves office. But then again his reputation is not that great these days anyway.
If the FBI is getting involved you could be in for a big ride there Roger.
These are my opinions on the matter and the following article was is the Toronto Sun on Feb 26 2008.
Sincerely Walter ( Webbontheweb) FBI probes Clemens
Cy Young winner could face perjury, obstruction of justice charges WASHINGTON -- The FBI took up the Roger Clemens case yesterday, told by the Justice Department to investigate whether the star pitcher lied when he testified to Congress he never took performance-enhancing drugs.
The FBI's involvement was announced one day after the leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee told Attorney General Michael Mukasey they weren't sure whether Clemens told the truth under oath at a Feb. 5 deposition and Feb. 13 public hearing. A probe could result in charges against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner for perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice. Congress did not ask for a similar investigation of Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer who testified under oath that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone. "The request to open an investigation on the congressional testimony of Roger Clemens has been turned over to the FBI and will receive appropriate investigative action by the FBI's Washington field office," an FBI spokeswoman said.
Clemens testified that he never used steroids or HGH; McNamee testified he injected Clemens with performance-enhancers at least 16 times from 1998-01. "We've always expected they would open an investigation," Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin said. "They attended the congressional hearing. So what's new?"
Clemens didn't answer questions directly yesterday when approached by reporters at the Houston Astros' spring training camp in Kissimmee, Fla., where he's been throwing batting practice to minor leaguers. "I'm going to handle it the right way," Clemens said. "You guys are wasting your time. We're going to handle it the right way. An 18-page memo sent to committee Democrats sets out "seven sets of assertions made by Mr. Clemens in his testimony that appear to be contradicted by other evidence before the committee or implausible."
Those areas involve Clemens' testimony that he has "never taken steroids or HGH"; that McNamee injected him with the painkiller lidocaine; that team trainers gave him pain injections; that he received many vitamin B-12 injections; that he never discussed HGH with McNamee; that he was not at then-teammate Jose Canseco's home from June 8-10, 1998; and that he was "never told" about Mitchell's request to speak to him. The committee felt Clemens' repeated and vigorous denials of McNamee's allegations questioned the legitimacy of the Mitchell Report.
