McNamee’s Box Of Blood And Vials: Not Exactly The Pumpkin Papers

Those who argue that Roger Clemens set himself up for a perjury charge by agreeing to testify under oath before a Congressional Committee do not know his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, very well. To put it simply, Hardin is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the country. I can guarantee you that Hardin warned Clemens, in excruciating detail, about the potential criminal exposure the pitching great faced if Clemens testified before Congress and there was ANY truth to Brian McNamee’s charges. I am struck by the self-confidence evident in the Clemens camp, even in the face of the box of “evidence” disclosed on Thursday by McNamee’s lawyers and their contemptible revelation on Friday that McNamee injected Clemens’ wife with a human growth hormone. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has the latest details here.
