Err...it wasn’t a trial. It was a typical, wa$teful, stupid RAT fest. Only the Dept. of Justice can charge and put the guy on trial. I doubt he’ll be charged and even if he is, he would be set free by a jury. The Nanny State is made highly visible again by these ludicrous hearings. If the RATs get fully in charge, we are cooked!
Clemens should come out immediately and claim that Waxman and the DOJ are trying to set him up because he refused to rat out other players that they wanted. (Doesn’t matter if that is factual or not, we’ve all seen democrats do the same thing and there is no way to prove it isn’t).
Clemens should tell Waxman to just man up and bring his charges since he knows that it was going to be coming months ago when Clemens refused to roll over and slander other players. He can claim that he these democrats want him to go to jail because he refused to rat out his teammates. Clemens could also claim that he offered them evidence on Barry Bonds but they didn’t want it but they were very intersted in getting dirt on other Yankees players.
If Clemens doesn’t get his PR game going, he is going to go to prison. If you all didn’t learn anything from Scooter then you aren’t paying attention to the game being played. Clemens is a WHITE TEXAN who is friends with BUSH. That is enough to make him the fallguy. And because the only person who actually committed a crime thus far is that scumbag trainer (drug crimes, practicing medicine w/o license, etc) but only indicting a celebrity gets Congresscritters the attention they need (to make them forget that they are really 5’1” with huge nostrils).
Clemens probably already has a sealed indictment against him or the prosecutors have the grand jury already impaneled who is going to be doing the indicting. The only two roads out of this mess are to beat the rap on some technicality or put some effort into countering the publicity trial which has been ongoing since Mitchell put that slanderous piece of trash into the public square.
That should be the icing on the cake to get Roger into the Hall of Fame.
Absolutely my thought, too.
There’s no way there’s even a trial before Bush gets out of office.
Well, if you had watched it, you would have seen a very uncomfortable Clemens. He tried to start a sentence with “To be honest. . .” and he got as far as “to be . .” and the work “honest” would not come out. There was a hush over the floor. It was very telling. He could not even say the word.
Clemens would have been better off to pled the Fifth, and saved the $5 million he is probably paying Rusty Hardin.
So we’re not allowed to opine? May as well shut down the forum.
Where did Woger’s wife get the HGH she took for the SI swimsuit issue? And she took it without his knowledge? And Andy Pettite’s statement? And the reality that he, unlike the rest of us, got waaaay stronger as he aged, performing what is said to be one of the most unnatural acts for a human being (outside of the bedroom)?
At a certain point (as I have told my teenaged daughter on any number of occasions), there are things I know without needing proof.
For what "crime"? I don't consider "lying to investigators" a real "crime" in most cases. It is by far the most abused charge used by the Feds, such as with the ridiculous Lewis Libby case. "Perjury" is typically the last vestige of a prosecutor who has no evidence of any crime.
What a creep.

I'm sorry. You have to believe that I was completely unaware that Roger Clemens' boyfriend was a FReeper.
Hey, I’m not saying he didn’t juice. He probably did but we should keep in mind that
(i) It wasn’t against the rules at the times
(ii) It wasn’t illegal for his trainer to use it
(iii) there is no evidence that can prove either of these guys right/wrong.
Why don’t we take up the discussion of fan complicity in the juicing scandal?
The fans went to games looking for the no-hitter, the back-to-back-to-back home runs. We (the fans) wanted it so bad that MLB altered the game *twice*: One year they juiced the ball, another year they turned the strike-zone into the strike-tunnel.
The juicing scandal is one-third player stupidity, one-third owner greed and one-third fan thrill seeking.
Why did Martha Stewart go to prison?
Kinda hard to create The Stain®'s semen out of thin air and then apply to to Monica's dress.
Clemens, on the other had, says that McNamee injected him with things other than HGH and roids.
How big a problem would it have been for the upstanding Mr. McNamee to add traces of HGH or roids to the gauze and needles after Clemen's DNA was already on them?
Then why is it that Roger lied under oath to the Feds?
Since when and why did this become a partisan issue?!!!
Have you seen the evidence against Clemens?
I liked Clemens for his achievements and still think he should be in the HOF, but I’m not blindly biased in his favor.
It’s clear to me that he has lied through his teeth repeatedly under oath. His brazenness in doing so should be rewarded with big time jail time.
The Republican congressman who shilled and pandered themselves for him should be ashamed of themselves.
There is no doubt in my mind that Clemens has perjured himself.
Where has our party gone?
The main thing which is unbelievable is that any man would witness his trainer going into his bedroom without his knowledge, inject his wife with a substance in her buttocks, causing unwanted side effects--and then continue to employee that trainer for years afterwards. The only possible truthful reaction from any man would have been to beat the crap out of said trainer and never pay him another dime.
Sounds like an awful lot of “coincidences”, doesn’t it?
As an attorney, I can tell you, I don’t believe in witnesses who have “coincidences pile up against them.
At that point, it’s not a coincidence.
So Roger never took HGH but his wife did?
However, you got to love that point in the hearing when Roger ratted out his wife to Congress on national TV.
Sorry....posted before looking back to see someone had beaten me to the pic. Any others???
