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.
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?
That's right ... do exactly what we criticize our political opponents for doing ... yeah, that's the ticket. Statements like this explain to me exactly why some Republicans accuse other Republicans of not having principles, and why the once conservative party is now going left in great haste.
Would have been a lot simpler just to tell the truth, like all the other players did. Clemens instead chose to lie, and if he reaps justice he'll be swatted with a perjury conviction.
