WASHINGTON - The FBI has begun investigating whether Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he denied taking performance-enhancing drugs. FBI agents in Washington opened the case a little more than two weeks after Clemens and Brian McNamee, his former personal trainer, testified at a House committee hearing Feb. 13, each accusing the other of lying.
"The request to open an investigation on the congressional testimony of Roger Clemens has been turned over to the FBI and will receive appropriate investigative action by the FBI's Washington field office," FBI spokeswoman Debra Weierman said Thursday.
The inquiry announcement came one day after two leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate Clemens. The probe could result in charges against Clemens of perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice. Lawmakers did not ask for a similar investigation of McNamee. (H/T - Yahoo!)
Can you believe this nonsense? Do the members of this committee have nothing better to do than legislate baseball? Is this why these congressmen were elected?
Do me a favor and follow my lead. Click on this link and if you see any committee members from your home state, VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!!! Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, we need to send these politicians a message. They are wasting valuable time and money on an issue that most of the general public doesn't care about.
I think the steroid abuse in baseball is a disgrace, too. You know what I'm doing about it? I'm not watching! See how easy that is? Idiots.
