One of Brian McNamee's lawyers predicted that Roger Clemens will be pardoned by President Bush, saying some Republicans treated his client harshly because of the pitcher's friendship with the Bush family.
Lawyer Richard Emery made the claims Thursday, a day after a congressional hearing broke down along party lines. Many Democrats were skeptical of Clemens' denials that he used performance-enhancing drugs and Republicans questioned the character of McNamee, the personal trainer who made the accusations against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.
"It would be the easiest thing in the world for George W. Bush given the corrupt proclivities of his administration to say Roger Clemens is an American hero, Roger Clemens helped children," Emery said in a telephone interview. "It's my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon."
During Wednesday's session before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Clemens repeated his denials under oath, which could lead to criminal charges if federal prosecutors conclude he made false statements or obstructed Congress.
"I'm not aware of Mr. Clemens having been charged with anything," White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said after being told of Emery's remarks.
Emery cited Bush's decision last year to commute the 2 1/2-year prison sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his vice president's former top aide. Libby was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative.

What next, is Roger going to Report his own Mother to Congress for whipping him when he was eight years old?
Roger: "My wife is guilty, my best friend is guilty but I am innocent."
What a jerk!
But, I can confidently tell congess to pound sand for such a subpeona.
Unless you have a prescription for it, you're breaking the law. Why do you think Roger, Debbie Clemens, Knoblauch, and Pettitte were taking it from a non-degreed gym rat in secretive backrooms?
You are dreaming if you think Clemens won’t be charged.
I’m not dreaming, and he will not be charged.
Ping me if he is put on trial.
He isn’t charged with anything, and therefore guilt or innocence is not an issue.
Chuckling. I just noticed that your tag line would work well for Woger, as well.
Of course that will not be in the American League nor the National League but rather the Federal League.
The Federal Prison League
Roger has been wearing Pin Stripes for Years.
Now, Roger will simply be wearing stripes.
“Debbie could be prosecuted for taking medication with out a prescription.”
The Houston DA would need to file those charges on the advice and evidence of the HPD (or FBI). That would be a stretch using 2nd-hand testimony from her spouse in a congressional hearing.
I would say she is pretty safe.
Also, I’m not terribly familiar with the rules regarding HGH. It appears HGH can be admistered by and on the recommendation of a qualified trainer (such as a PT Tech) to athletes in certain clubhouse applications (deep tissue injury, fractures, injury rehab, etc. etc.)
If it is legal, why does Roger continue to lie?
What I can’t understand is this...
What and why is government involved in a baseball issue???
Can you please point out which bone Debbie fractured or where she had a deep tissue injury?
I’ll need to study that evidence....at length.
Big time jail time should only be awarded for crimes proven in a court of law. The evidence needs to be “beyond a shadow of a doubt”, and that does not include opinions based solely on how a defendant presents himself.
In this case, there is no credible evidence (that I have seen) that proves Clemens guilty of perjury (which is the only legal charge he could face, IIRC).
Where has our party gone? To the dogs, if unproven allegations are sufficient to deprive a man of his liberty.
Dock only thought he was pitching in 1070.
Dock Ellis threw his only no-hitter on two hits of purple microdot acid back in 1070 with Pittsburgh.
GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Might be wise to wait for a charge before you hold the trial before you read the verdict and before the sentence.
Just saying.
Bud Selig is just the type of commissioner the baseball owners want - WEAK. George Mitchell is a sleazy ex-Senator with a conflict of interest (BRS). McNamee is a smug dirty lying rat. The Congress is a hypocritical bunch of busybodies who would rather do anything than their real jobs - especially if it gives them face time. The entire lot are a waste of oxygen.
In 2006, I started the George W. Bush for Commissioner of Baseball campaign.
It still limps on.
