FBI to drop Clemens case?
Posted By: steve
I heard a news blip. The FBI has decided to drop the Roger Clemens purgery case, saying, "Clemens has already been shamed enough...and...they don't want to waste their time with it." |

I think you're talking about a New York congressman named Weiner who is asking that the FBI drop the case due to the reasons you cited. I recognize the quotes from a news story yesterday. I don't believe there are any indications yet that the FBI has opted to do so. The article also mentioned that Weiner is considering running for mayor of NY (or was it Gov. of NY state --- I skimmed), so he could well have said it to get in good with the locals. |

I'm not sure the Dept of Justice has actually dropped the case. I did read on either ESPN.com or CNN.com this morning that some senator was sending a letter to the DOJ requesting they drop the case, for the reasons you cited. |

The politician you are talking about is running for Mayor of New York and his district covers the area where Shea Stadium is located. |

I guess perjury is not a serious offense any more. |

Yeah, ignore Anthony Weiner. He's just trolling for votes and actually thinks (or at least the focus group he convened for this thinks) that this would make him popular for his run for NYC mayor. Imagine how race relations would be impacted if the feds dropped its investigation into Clemens for lying under oath but allowed Bonds and Marion Jones to go to jail for the same offense. |

What kind of idiot thinks the FBI drops cases because the offender has been publicly "shamed enough"? |

Before I moved last year, Anthony Weiner was my congressman. I was never very impressed with him; even less so now. |

Rumor has it Clemens has friends in high places politically, so this is as far as it will go. |

Regardless how many friends Clemens may have in high places, I can't fathom how the government could drop this case yet proceed with the Bond's case. The parallels are too strong and treating Clemens differently than Bonds would create extremely vociferous claims of racial bias. As to this moron Weiner's assertion that the government has better things to do with its time, wow! Amazing! So whether lying under oath to Congress as it performs its official duties is an offense worthy of prosecution is now to be a function of some subjective determination of how important the matter is that Congress is investigating?! What a great way to get people to testify truthfully before Congress. Oh, and by the way Congressman Weiner, why don't you go to the families of high school athletes who took their lives as they were withdrawing from steriods. And explain to them how the effort to get PEDs out of professional sports so that these kids' role models will be perceived as clean and their accomplishments untainted is not important enough a matter for Congress to take up. |

Somewhere in Texas, Rusty Hardin has a scotch in one hand, a cigar in the other...he's looking at himself in the mirror and saying, "damnit, you are one handsome, smart sumbitch!" |

"Y'all know what this is, don't you?" I'm just imagining what Hardin's opening statement might be. |
