Congress drafts letter reportedly asking feds to look at Clemens

ESPN.com news services

Roger Clemens' appearance before Congress not only may have failed to clear his name, it might also have led to more trouble.

The New York Times reported on Monday that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has drafted a letter recommending that the Justice Department launch a criminal investigation into whether Clemens committed perjury during his testimony on Feb. 13.

Citing three lawyers familiar with the matter, the newspaper said that Clemens' accuser, Brian McNamee, was not included in the letter, prompting speculation that the committee has concluded that the trainer's testimony was truthful.

McNamee alleges in the Mitchell report that he injected Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs on at least 16 occasions. In a deposition and during his testimony, Clemens denied ever using PEDs.

The Feb. 13 hearing was split along partisan lines, with Republicans blasting McNamee and Democrats questioning the veracity of Clemens. The tenor of the event led many to believe that the committee would recommend an investigation into both Clemens and McNamee. Although McNamee could be included in a final recommendation from the committee, the draft letter suggests the group's thinking at this time.

A letter from the committee is not binding in any way, and federal agents were present at the Feb. 13 hearing anyway.

"It simply puts informal public pressure on the Department of Justice to take a look at it and respond in some way to Congress' action," Todd D. Peterson, a law professor at the George Washington University School of Law who worked in the department's Office of Legal Counsel during the 1980's and 1990's, told the Times.

They can investigate and indict all they want, because you know that pardon is coming.

He may get a pardon, but he will have to be convicted guilty first and thats what we all want to see.

say bye bye to the HOF Rog.

Guess the Red Sox will lose another Hall of Famer, oh well....... ....now he's a Redsox?

They can investigate and indict all they want, because you know that pardon is coming. They'd have to investigate, try & convict Clemens all before that clown & friend of the family, Bush, leaves office. I'd think it would drag out longer than that.

i was thinking the same thing. i don't see McCain, Obama or Clinton giving him a pardon. so he better hope it gets done before ol GW leaves the White House.

The reality of it is that Clemens is really a big dummy.

What a dumbass.

Clinton gave someone a pardon who was not even on trial yet (Denise Rich's husband I believe.)

True the legality of that is in question, but I can't see any other reason for Clemens doing the legally stupid things he is doing unless he is sure that pardon is coming.

He was not on trial yet but he had already been indicted by the Federal Govt.

But your right, he must know something is coming. If not, even a drunk publicist would not tell him to take the route he has chosen!!
