Het congreslid van koninginnen: Het geval van de daling tegen Clemens
Rep. Anthony Weiner heeft een bericht voor FBI betreffende Roger Clemens: Daling het.
Weiner (D-BosHeuvels), mayoral bovengenoemde hoopvol van 2009 en een ventilator Mets, Woensdag die hij Clemens loog Februari heeft geloofd. 13 aan het Comité van het Huis voor de Hervorming van de Onoplettendheid en van de Overheid. Maar Weiner zei het hof van de publieke opinie beter werd gediend om Clemens te beoordelen dan een Afdeling met te weinig personeel van de Rechtvaardigheid.
“While there may have been some wrongdoing, I think we should let this issue be waived in light of the other challenges we face,” Weiner said, noting he had sent a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey .saying the same thing.
“The Justice Department has to make decisions every day on how to allocate their limited resources. The end of this investigation will not be taking someone who’s selling HGH to our children off the streets. It only leads to whether Roger Clemens was truthful or not.”
Weiner, part of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that grilled the commissioners of the four major pro sports a week ago, said .Congress has done all it can do about steroids in pro sports.
“We’re not legislating here,” he said. “We’re delving into an interesting topic for the .public. At the end of the day, .steroids is a PR issue for pro sports.”
Weiner said he’s among the many who think that .Clemens lied to Congress, which prompted the committee to recommend an FBI investigation to .determine whether Clemens committed perjury, a felony.
But, he added, “I do believe that public embarrassment is a sanction. The real consequences are a loss of revenue from endorsements and a loss of respect in the eyes of the fans. It may be that Roger Clemens’ entry into the Hall of Fame is in question. It may be that future employers won’t have an interest in his services.”
As Weiner views the role of the federal government, that should be enough.
“The question is not whether someone who may have committed a crime is walking away scot-free,” he said. “It’s about whether someone who’s committed a crime is walking away because the frankly limited federal .resources aren’t being properly allocated.”
