It looks like Roger Clemens didn’t convince any Democrats with his testimony in front of Congress February 13th. According to anonymous sources, a letter to the Justice Department has been drafted asking the it to investigate whether Clemens, and not McNamee, committed perjury during hearings in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Keith Ausbrook, Republican chief counsel for the committee, told reporters that he was unaware of the letter, indicating that at least for now, this is not a bipartisan act.
What happens know depends on the Justice Department. They can choose to investigate Clemens and McNamee if they want. Jeff Novitsky, the man who led the BALCO investigation, watched the testimony in person and could be called into service again.
Meanwhile, more evidence has surfaced that shows Clemens did attend the pool party at Jose Canseco’s house. Besides the photographic evidence supposedly provided by an eleven-year old, a major league ballplayer has apparently told Congress that Clemens often told a story about his wife, Debbie, and Jose’s wife, Jessica, comparing the results of their breast implants. That answers one burning question, but makes you wonder how anyone would forget that party.
To complete the bad news for Roger, Brian McNamee’s attorneys have filed a motion to remove Rusty Hardin from the defamation lawsuit filed by Rocket and to have the entire matter dismissed.
