Clemens, Pettitte, McNamee asked to testify to Congress

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Holy hell...you guys see the Debbie Clemens thing??

 

[danoyse]

No, I don't think they're ripping him because he's a Republican. Curt Schilling is a raging Republican and I don't remember anyone questioning his testimony when he faced Congress a few years ago.

Clemens said early in the hearing that he'd received a call from the highest office in the land (or something like that) telling him to remain strong to show the support he's getting. That said to me that he's got W's support. Funny, since he's made cracking down on steroids in sports such a priority...unless one of his own friends gets accused of it.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, he lied about the number of usage.

He had said he'd used for only 2 days.

Apparently...he'd used for longer. I think all of 2004, I think.

And that his father provided them.

I think. I mean, I read that last night on ESPN News.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think the Debbie Clemens thing, as told by Roger Clemens, is probably the most truthful thing we've heard from either side.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Holy hell...you guys see the Debbie Clemens thing??

What?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Roger read a statement from Debbie Clemens.

She said that there had been an article about HGH being used as a natural and healthy form of use. And that Brian McNamee, being a doctor, had told Debbie Clemens about that and had offered to inject her with a test shot of HGH, and she did. She supposedly then had health problems for quite a while because of it and hadn't told Roger.

 

[Dark Donnie]

I knew he injected her, I didn't know they(Clemens') acknowledged it

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah. She acknowledged it through Roger in a statement she had written.

 

[StorminNorman]

I don't know, Clemens started stuttering like a fool from some of these questions. He's obviously nervous as all hell, if he was innocent he would have no reason to be nervous.

As for McNamee, I find it funny that he is being yelled at as a liar. Why in the hell would he lie to tarnish his own name and career?? Only thing I could think of is he is getting paid off by someone.

For McNamee, however this turns out his career is already over. No one would trust him.

People say that - but thats a ridiculous position to make.

He is testifying before congress underoath where one simple slip could mean prison. Thats huge.

McNamee would lie to try to keep himself out of jail time he was getting, I believe.

I agree 100%

I don't really know what exactly the was talking about but one of the Congressman stated that McNamme had lied numerous times today.....about what?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah...it's insane to think he shouldn't be nervous.

I guess being nervous is a sign of guilt?

It's not.

 

[EdRyder]

To say this thing is a circus is an understatement.No one likes to attend a circus that consists of only clowns.
A member of the oversight committee submitted photographs of Clemens as evidence.(I think it was Virginia Foxx)She makes a note to say something along the lines of "It doesnt appear that you've bulked up at all over the years".And Clemens has the audacity to nod his head ,...Way to do your homework Foxx.
Thats a piece of the puzzle that bugs the **** out of me.Rather than rely on his stats isnt there another form of factual data out there?Cant they create an injured list timeline and compare his healing times for muscle pulls ,strains, etc between the times its alleged he was on steroids and wasnt?Kind of simple,..surely not all that difficult.
Then Elijah Cummings claimed that since Pettite acknowledged Mcnamee's allegations to be true,that in turn casts doubt on Clemens.Somehow hes guilty by association? Thats an outrageous statement! You'd think this was Nuremberg

There was so much talk , really.

This format...the lets ask every 5 minutes...doesn't seem to work, because they should have been able to call each guy out on a lie then and there.

It just finished...and honestly there are things on both sides that make this tough to follow and tough to call.

McNamee history of lying hurt him big time.

Clemens provided stats that supported his own claim, though.

Exactly. One wrong answer, even if by mistake or misunderstanding of some kind and it gets that much worse for Clemens.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, there were a few on McNamees' side as well. I think he had certain confusions as well, that he stumbled through.

It's why this case is so bizarre.

Really, the hits both took were directed by the repsentatives that had they're agendas in attacking.

Some went after, clearly, Clemens. Some went after, clearly, McNamee.

I'll say the house leader is one ugly bastard. He should wear a mask when on TV.

 

[The Kid]

Leave Clemens Alone or he'll throw splintered bats at you?

Did he win? I didn't understand the outcome of this very serious hearing...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

This is just Round 1.

 

[Dark Donnie]

There is no outcome really, nothing will probably happen from all this.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, I think something will come from this.

6 FBI Agents were present at the hearing, and supposedly they've already began an investigation into who prejured themselves.

I mean, as of now...that is the ONLY thing is true...is that someone is lying.

There may be more trials, but it's extremely difficult to get a guilty plea off a perjury charge.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Man, Clemens lawyers are doing a great job.

And I'm doubting the validity of the Commitee as well, because they seemed to have lied about the Nanny apparently.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

True.

But people will surely be hunting.

 

[Excel]

Clemens does not seem very intelligent. I saw a bit and a congresswoman helf up four photos of from from 96, 99, 2002 and 2006 and said he looked roughly the same size and asked him to discuss his conditioning; he responded by talking about career accomplishments.

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

This hearing was ridiculous. Clemens said werid things, members of congress asked werid questions. McNamee also had his questionable moments.

BTW: Clemens is "easy to find."
