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.
Of course that will not be in the American League nor the National League but rather the Federal League.
The Federal Prison League
I’m not dreaming, and he will not be charged.
Ping me if he is put on trial.
Clemens being indicted and put on trial was already planned at the time that the subpeona went out to Clemens for this hearing. The referral letter to the DOJ was written the day after the subpeona was drafted requiring Clemens presence in front of that committee (the idea that Clemens ‘demanded’ to appear is sophistry and CYA for democrats who outsmarted a dumb Texan who made his living throwing balls at people).
Clemens fell into the perjury trap because he is so full of bravado and arrogance. Waxman and his henchmen correctly predicted that if they publicly challenged him that he would not back down. Not like he had another other choice unless he wanted to plead the 5th in front of 1700 television cameras and publicly proclaim his desire to never be in the Hall of Fame.
Not only will I predict that Clemens will be on trial (correctly) but I will also predict that Clemens will be publicly linked to Bush and the GOP. (There is no point is having a high profile lynching if you don’t damage the GOP)
Clemens will be painted as having been a longtime ‘conservative republican’ who back all kinds of candidates like Tom Delay, George Bush and David Duke.
