I think steroids are stupid but not nearly as stupid as wasting congressional and courtroom time on them.

The prosecutor was told not to use the video but used it anyway? I just have to shake my head.

Prosecutors: 0 for 2 in recent high profile cases.

This is theater.

It would be really bad "optics" for a sitting USAG to be prosecuting somebody for the same crime he is documented to have committed.

The case will not be resubmitted.

after prosecutors showed to jurors evidence that he had ruled would out of bounds in the case.

The legal system truly is out of control. Just a bunch of law school grads trying to make names for themselves, damn the rules and regulations.

But of course the issue is perjury before Congress.

Plus, the railroading of that Frenchman fell apart and Corey Maye is going home! This has been a bad month for the lynch mob and a long overdue good month for freedom.

Screw congress. They really don’t have the moral authority to claim someone perjured them when they do it on a daily basis.

Not directly or the prosecutor would likely be sitting in a cell. The judge said not to use the testimony of Pettit's wife Laura and there she was in the video. Maybe a prosecutorial brain phart, maybe an intentional act, but the judge freezing the video with her words in text on the screen let it hang there like a big fat hanging curve ball.

The Prosecutor is throwing the case. Must have had pangs of conscience, but not enough to admit this was a dog and pony show.

“I think steroids are stupid but not nearly as stupid as wasting congressional and courtroom time on them.”

If that is the case MLB should give-up their anti-trust exemption.

Congress wouldn't recognize perjury if it bit them in the ass...in Time Square...at high noon...under spotlights. They collectively and individually lie all the time...to each other...to us...and to themselves.

The French had the right idea in 1789!!

Why are we spending taxpayer dollars on garbage like this?

We'll apparently cut Social Security before we cut off these out-of-control prosecutors and the battalions of SWAT teams roving the nation oppressing citizens.

Tyranny, plain and simple.
