Perfect example of ‘witch hunt’? Look at Clemens-Congress fiasco
What a circus. Just think: We pay all those bozos in Congress to ferret out all the corruption and possible corruption going on in, uh, well, uh — Major League Baseball???
According to a story I was just reading, the major probability of criminal charges against pitcher Roger Clemens for lying under oath to the Congressional committee rest on comments before the committee that “appear to be contradicted by other evidence … or (were) implausible.”
Please understand what that means. It means our elected representatives, and possibly FBI investigators, are scrambling around wasting taxpayers’ money trying to decide whether statements Clemens made which appear to be contradicted or were implausible are worthy of filing criminal charges. That’s like saying something like this:
He may have done or said something that was perjury, … BUT… we don’t know for sure because he may have merely told the truth about something he didn’t understand, … OR … people who contradict what he said may be lying … OR … they may have misunderstood and made mistakes in their testimoney … OR …
Well, you get the idea. Are you confused and angry enough about all this yet? Give me a break. Do you or anyone else reading this REALLY think Roger Clemens is perfect? Is it REALLY worth the time and money being spent on this issue??
Let the guy play baseball or not. As I said long ago in posts on this site, people being paid multiple millions of dollars for playing a game absolutely will, at one time or another, take or do whatever they must to gain an edge. They want to continue playing games and making the big bucks.
Why don’t we let Major League Baseball take care of all this — why must we spend taxpayer money and time to do it??
Ah, well, what do I know? I’m just a guy who reads the paper and helps pay all these congressional salaries for this idiocy.
