The beginning of the end for Clemens

[PURPLE 4EVER]

One thing that must be learned through all of this is....

Don't lie to the federal government under oath....

My gut feeling tells me Roger is disremembering more than McNamee.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- There's a new development in the Roger Clemens steroids controversy. The Rocket could soon become the focus of a federal perjury investigation.

The New York Times says the House Oversight Committee has drawn up a letter to the Justice Department asking for a criminal investigation into whether Clemens lied during a Congressional hearing.

During the February 13th hearing, Clemens denied several claims by his former trainer Brian McNamee, including using steroids or human growth hormone and attending a party at the home of Jose Canseco.

THE SAGA CONTINUES....

WASHINGTON —  Congress asked the Justice Department on Wednesday to investigate whether Roger Clemens made false statements to a House committee.

The chairman and ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said they sent a letter to Justice.

"We believe that his testimony in a sworn deposition on Feb. 5, 2008, and at a hearing on Feb. 13, 2008, that he never used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone, warrants further investigation," committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis wrote. "That testimony is directly contradicted by the sworn testimony of Brian McNamee, who testified that he personally injected Mr. Clemens with anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

"Mr. Clemens's testimony is also contradicted by the sworn deposition testimony and affidavit submitted to the committee by Andrew Pettitte, a former teammate of Mr. Clemens, whose testimony and affidavit reported that Mr. Clemens had admitted to him in 1999 or 2000 that he had taken human growth hormone."
