It’s all about headlines for corrupt prosecutors.

That's word-for-word what I was going to post. Thank you.

Another idiot who’s going to have talked himself into prison. The correct answer when one finds oneself in front of Congress is “I respectfully assert my 5th Amendment rights” followed by “have a nice day you a**holes”.

Pete Rose must be feeling pretty good about himself right now...

It makes me ill that this is the subject of a law, let alone Congress.

I could care less if people want to use steroids.

Anyone who says a word to congress under oath needs their heads examined. Take the 5th, give em the finger and walk out. Sure they’ll say nasty things about you. In my world thats better than facing 30 years in prison for being dishonest to a congressman.

Did he take an attorney? If he did he should be sued for malpractice if he didn’t advise him to take the 5th.

Your tax dollars at work. What a waste of legal effort and the taxpayers’ money. While Mexican drug dealers operate freely on US federal land, why is the DOJ wasting its time and our money on an insignificant case like this?

[Neoliberalnot]

It’s hard to believe it’s against the law to lie to a bunch of liars. How does Roger’s polling numbers look in comparison to Congress?””

good one. Some liars are more equal than others, no?

[socialism_stinX]

You could be right. This could be an attempt to create a diversion from the bad economic data on the evening news.

[Brytani]

Maybe they’ll put Fitz on the case..........

[hattend]

How much is this going to cost taxpayers?

With all the shit going on in this country we’re going to keep gov’t lawyers busy for years on this nonsense? Fine him and move on

[Abathar]

He raised his right hand and did it while under oath, that is the big difference.

[presently no screen name]

Excellent point!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

OK, and they’re going to indict Bobby Bonds when?

You mean Bobby's baby, Barry.

Pete Rose must be feeling pretty good about himself right now...

Bet on it.

[Ol' Sparky]

He just lied about using steroids. How is that any better or worse than Bill Clinton lying about sex?

[Artemis Webb]

Congratulations!

It took ten comments on this thread to get to the first one (yours) that actually addressed the Clemens case and not something else.

Greg Maddux is the greatest undoped pitcher of the last 40 yearss

Yep. Anything the media can come up with to take the heat of the kenyen muslim and his party of socialists.

So if a building catches on fire it shouldn’t be a new story because it’s not about Obama?

So if a family is murdered somewhere it’s an attempt to distract from Obama?

So if a tornado touches down and destroys a couple of blocks somewhere it should be ignored as a distraction from the news about Obama?

Oh...I see.

This is asinine! Since when it it congress business what you put in your body? He should never have had to testify to start with. This is a private matter for Baseball to handle when you are an active employee
