OPENING STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE DEFENDANT

MR. HARDIN: Good morning.

JURORS IN UNISON: Good morning.

MR. HARDIN: That is not the, in the books, for

lawyers as the way to start an opening statement. And

obviously when I look around the table here, I didn 't get

the memo about clothes and ties either. So I hope that you

won't hold any of that against Mr. Clemens.

I really appreciate how closely you all paid

attention to the Government yesterday. Mr. Durham is a very

good lawyer and a very decent man. I was a little surprised

at the finger-pointing and the aggressiveness he to ok about

Mr. Clemens as a person.

Deceit, dishonesty, betrayal, all of those words

he threw at Mr. Clemens. All of those words more l ike the

final argument than an opening statement when we're supposed

to be discussing the evidence. He points at him. This is

not what this should be about.

This should be about what the evidence is going to

show as to whether Roger Clemens lied before Congre ss when

he testified in two different ways, one in a deposi tion in

February of 2008, and the next week before the worl d at

large on public TV.

We're here because a man dared to publicly deny

consistently in every forum known to man his innoce nce of an

allegation in a private report released publicly. It's as

simple as that.

What this evidence will be designed to do from the

Government, Mr. Durham has already broadcast. They 're going

to call Mr. Clemens a liar. They're going say he w as

deceitful, and apparently a bunch of other words. And it is

all coming back, always will be because he dared to deny he

was guilty of a crime. That's all.

The person who has consistently throughout and

regularly since December the 13th of 2007 denied he did

anything wrong and denied that he took HGH or stero ids is

Roger Clemens.

And what you're going to see from the evidence is,

is he has done everything possible from the day one these

allegations were made public to deny his guilt. An d because

of that, first Congress and now the U.S. Attorney's Office

here in D.C., has chosen to make that a crime. You are

sitting in judgment of whether it is a crime to den y you

committed a crime. And they knew when they brought him to

Congress that that's what he was going to do.

Let's go back real quick chronologically as to how

we got here and then I want to ask you to look at t hese men

that are at issue. And I want you to think as you go

through what the evidence is going to be what you'r e going

to have to decide from it.

About eight or nine days, the evidence will be,

before December the 13th of 2007, Roger Clemens' ag ent found

out that Brian McNamee, Roger Clemens's trainer sin ce 1998,

had told the Mitchell Commission that Roger Clemens had used

HGH and steroids. They found that out because Bria n McNamee

found out that the Mitchell Commission, when it iss ued its

report the next week, was going to name names of pl ayers the

Mitchell Commission contended had used steroids.

Congress, as you've heard from Mr. Durham, in 2005

had some much ballyhooed hearings with prominent at hletes

about whether they used steroid and what the proble m was of

steroids in baseball.

After that, baseball, at some prodding by

Congress, hired George Mitchell, who by then a form er

senator was in private practice with a law firm cal led DLA

Piper. And they hired him, and that baseball paid him, the

firm, millions of dollars to do an investigation th at

culminated in December of 2007 with what was called the

Mitchell Report.

I think the evidence is going to be that no one

knew for sure until the day the Mitchell Report cam e out

whether the Mitchell Report was actually going to n ame names

of players they said did it or whether they were si mply

going to describe the problem of steroids in baseba ll as

they saw it in making recommendations.

When Roger Clemens's agent, and then lawyers, find

out that the report was due to come out that week, they sent

two investigators, as Mr. Durham talked to Brian Mc Namee.

And they interviewed him. And because they never w anted to

an argument about whether it was accurate or not, t hey

taped -- that interview was tape-recorded. That ta pe

recording was later provided to Congress, and the G overnment

has it. And that is what Mr. McNamee told represen tatives

of Roger Clemens that he had told the Mitchell Comm ission

the day before report comes out.

The evidence will be when the report comes out

December the 13th, Roger Clemens tried to do what t he

Government and anybody reasonable would say, just d eny and

maybe it will blow over. And so Roger Clemens did not

appear publicly on December the 13th to answer thos e

responses, he spoke to his lawyer, who said it's no t true.

And Roger Clemens takes his two -- two of his sons

hunting for a week or so. Comes back, during that week the

furor was unbelievable in the media. It's difficul t for you

to imagine because this man had many -- many called the

premier pitcher in baseball of all time.

Before 2001, no baseball pitcher had won the most

coveted award in pitching for baseball, in baseball for

pitching, the Cy Young award. Roger Clemens by the n had won

five. He was the first person who ever won five. When he

retires, he has won seven. And so this man is the poster

boy for the Mitchell Report in terms of the nature of

steroids in baseball as far as the way the publicit y was,

and so nobody would stop.

So when he comes back, he issues a denial because

people wanted to hear from him on a You Tube, doesn 't take

questions, just says, "I didn't do it." And announ ces that

he's then -- and he's going to submit to an intervi ew with

"60 Minutes" and that Mike Wallace would do the int erview.

The very thing anybody who was not guilty of the al legations

would do to try to protect their reputation and the ir

career.

He had by that time been a baseball pitcher for 24

years. And the allegations and show [sic] of using steroids

and taking the cheap way out was total anathema, to tally a

guess, everything he had ever stood for. And those

allegations were telling a forty-five-year-old man he had

cheated, and you got where you were by not playing straight.

And the evidence will be Roger Clemens wanted the w orld to

know that wasn't true.

He does the "60 Minutes" interview. Two or three

days before the "60 Minute" interview, his represen tatives

are informed that Congress, the House Oversight Com mittee,

the same committee that had asked for the Mitchell Report to

be done and had the hearings in 2005 was going to i ssue an

invitation to come testify.

Then the "60 Minutes" interview runs. That should

have put it to bed; right? No. The evidence will be he was

still criticized for not taking live questions from various

members of the media. He has a press conference. He plays

a tape of Mr. McNamee and he having a conversation in which

he's urging Mr. McNamee just to come forward and te ll the

truth. He gets upset during the interview and ulti mately

leaves before it's over.

Everybody says if somebody didn't do something and

you get charged with it, I'd sue. He sued Mr. McNa mee on

the eve of the "60 Minutes" show for slander.

In January, his representatives visit with the

Congressional staff, with Mr. Barnett, who's going to be the

first Government witness, urging them not to call R oger

Clemens as a witness. Nothing would be gained by i t.

Nobody had ever seen a good witness before Congress , if

Congress is after them, it doesn't work.

The invitation stood, and the request not to call

him was denied. And so then the issue is, does Rog er

Clemens refuse to come forward and make him do what they did

in 2005, which was to subpoena all those players. And then

the evidence will be uncontradicted from Mr. Barnet t, that

if you decline to come testify before Congress, the y can

issue a subpoena. And the history was they had in 2005, and

everybody, the evidence will be, knew that's what t hey would

do.

And once Congress issues you a subpoena, you have

only two choices. You have to respond to a subpoen a or

you'll be in contempt of Congress. And then the on ly way

you can avoid not having to testify is do you take the Fifth

and say, "Exercise my Constitutional rights and I'm not

going to testify," or you testify under oath.

So Roger Clemens did not require a subpoena that

he knew would come if he didn't do it. He'd take t he Fifth,

the assumptions of the world is you did it. And so he does,

he testifies in two ways before Congress. That's h ow we get

here.

But let it not be ever forgotten, the evidence is

going to show, he didn't want to. He just simply w anted the

world to know he did not know what he'd been -- do what he

had been accused of.

So, then we end up with the tale of two men. And

the tale of two men is Roger Clemens and Brian McNa mee.

There is a hearing. Mr. McNamee gives his depositi on,

you'll hear excerpts when he testifies where he may be

questioned about some things he said.

Mr. Clemens gives his deposition. You'll hear the

Government introduce things from that deposition. They have

in their first count 15 obstructive acts, they say, that Mr.

Clemens did to obstruct Congress. My memory is 11 of those

obstructive acts occurred during the deposition bef ore the

next week when he appeared publicly. But you'll he ar and

look and try to match up the evidence with what the y contend

were obstructive acts.

It is always going to be about the fact of that

Roger Clemens from day one has dared to say, I did not do

it, and that's what he's being prosecuted for. He' s not

being prosecuted for using. He's being prosecuted for

saying he didn't. And he didn't just say it at Con gress, he

said it with every breath he's had for the last fou r years.

So who are these guys? How did we get here and

their relationship? Well, here's Roger and the New York

Yankees. Here now, he's born in 1982 [sic] in Ohio to a

mother that had five children first, and then anoth er child

in the second marriage.

He basically grows up around women because he

didn't really have a relationship with his natural father,

and his stepfather that he loved dearly died when h e was

like ten.

This guy, I always want to say this in public

where he can't do anything to me for it, but this g uy was a

pudgy tall kid. This guy is, the evidence is going to show,

was an achiever unbelievably, and he made himself t hat way,

not Brian McNamee. And the evidence will tell in d etail how

that happened.

Next guy, the other guy in these two guys, that's

Brian McNamee. Brian McNamee here in this picture, and it's

on your screens in front of you. That's the way he appeared

in 2010 when he testified before the Grand Jury. A nd he

testified before the Grand Jury with that blue tie is

advertising a company's product that he is hawking then and

now.

He actually knew the cameras, the evidence will

be, he knew the media was going to be all over it. He shows

up for the Grand Jury for the media advertising a p rivate

business of his that -- involvement he had, that no body

would have cared about except for the notoriety he

accomplished by being the man who supposedly brough t down

Roger Clemens.

What is Roger Clemens's career? And I want to go

through this just very quickly. Where did -- where did this

testimony first go? Before we do the career statio n, let's

do this.

The Government shows you a picture -- the

Government showed you a picture of him testifying. But this

is the atmosphere that occurred when he appeared be fore

Congress. That is the venue that all this occurred in.

Next. Now, I want you to look, please, you've got

it on your screen. Most of you probably haven't he ard about

steroids or that much about it. This is the career of Roger

Clemens and steroids, the evidence will be, I notic ed in the

opening statement, let me back up, Mr. Durham has b acked

away kind of from the suggestion that he bulked up and

everything and made himself bigger and stronger. A nd why?

Because look at this photograph. These are the fou r --

MR. DURHAM: I object, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Approach.

[Bench conference.]

THE COURT: Were these cleared before?

MR. DURHAM: Sure. The pictures were, but there's

no foundation for what the inference, which is --

MS. SALESKI: The objection, Your Honor, is to

statements like this: Mr. Durham has backed away f rom the

premise that Mr. Clemens -- this case is not about what Mr.

Durham had said either in opening statement or befo re. Mr.

Hardin wants to address what the Government intends to

present all its evidence, that's fine. But this is not

about whether --

THE COURT: When did Mr. Durham say that he was

using steroids to bulk up? I don't recall him sayi ng that

in his opening statement here yesterday. He said t hat some

of them may bulk up, some don't, some do different things.

Page 14: Clemens trial, Rusty Hardin opening argument

14

So as far as I know, he's never said that.

MR. HARDIN: No, it's true that -- well, it's true

that he's never said it before this jury, that's ce rtainly

right. But the entire -- my intention was is the e vidence

is going to be that originally Roger Clemens's body changed,

and that was said before Congress. That was said i n the

Congressional Report. And the Government's clearly no

longer --

THE COURT: Is there going to be any evidence in

this case that he was using steroids for the purpos e of

bulking up? Your statements suggested that Mr. Dur ham in

the past has in some way indicated he was using the m to bulk

up, and there's no evidence from what I understand that he

said that. That needs to be corrected.

MR. HARDIN: Fair enough. Thank you.

[Open court.]

MR. HARDIN: Let me try to make something clear.

The Government's point is very valid. I don't mean to

suggest that Mr. Durham has first said that he bulk ed up and

then has changed it. What I mean to say to you is the

evidence is going to be is that originally when the se

allegations came out publicly, the suggestion was i s that

Roger Clemens's body had changed. And that was rea lly a big

issue before Congress. Did he -- did his body show any of

the outward indicia of steroids? Namely acne, name ly body

15

mass changing, a bigger head, different changes in the way

the person looked. There are a lot of common

characteristics of steroids that initially when all these

allegations were, the problem with it is in trying to prove

somebody a negative, that Roger Clemens did not do

something, these pictures clearly show this man's b ody,

other than the aging process, doesn't outwardly cha nge. And

the evidence shows that what -- the ball keeps chan ging on

us with this entire area because of this.

There are masseuses that we, the evidence is going

to show, from 1986 forward, and when a time he was in

Boston, he will say that his body never changed dur ing the

time he was in Boston for 13 years. That he had no ne of the

outward characteristics of anybody using steroids.

Medical evidence is going to be there's no medical

evidence that he ever used steroids. The things th at you

would expect to find present in the medical records of

somebody that had used steroids over several years the way

that Mr. McNamee contends, there are things there t hat you

would expect that you don't find.

So, I take it from the opening statement of the

Government that now its contention is, or their con tention

is that Roger Clemens took steroids to loosen up hi s joints

and stuff like, and to recover more quickly from in juries.

That's what I heard Mr. Durham say.

16

Well, there's never going to be any physical

evidence in this case from any source except Brian McNamee

suggesting in any way that Roger Clemens used stero ids.

None. They mentioned Andy Pettitte. We welcome An dy

Pettitte's testimony. Andy Pettitte's testimony wi ll be

directed to one small thing by Government, I think, and that

is his memory, he believes that Roger Clemens back in '99 or

2000 told him one time in a casual workout he used HGH.

I'm not going to get into what Andy Pettitte's

testimony is and all. Mr. Attanasio will deal with that

later. I would just tell you this. Contrary to wh at Mr.

Durham indicated, we're never going to be saying an ything

bad about Andy Pettitte.

There are still friends. They haven't been able

to have any contact because of this case, but they are still

friends. And we believe that Andy Pettitte will ta ke the

stand and tell the truth as he believes it and as h e knows

it.

And we think at the end of the day Andy Pettitte's

testimony will be some of the most convincing of al l as to

why Roger Clemens did not take steroids, or HGH at the end

of the day. So we welcome Andy Pettitte. We're no t going

to ever be bad mouthing him, and we believe he will tell

what he believes is the truth. And then you can de cide

who's right and who's wrong and what's correct and so on.

Let's go through quickly his career. I want --

and the reason I'm going to put this up, his career . He's

born in '82[sic], he goes to high school in Texas. His

family moves to Texas. He's the number three start er in his

high school. He wasn't a guy, this is all before B rian

McNamee. What I'm going to run through real quickl y with

you here and then go on to some other points is, th is --

this case -- I want you to see what he accomplished before

he ever met Brian McNamee.

If you look at San Jac [sic] College here, you'll

see a sort of -- a very sort of stern looking man w ho's in a

Rice jacket, name's Wayne Graham. He'll testify th at Roger

Clemens was the hardest working athlete he ever saw .

When Roger Clemens graduated from high school, he

wasn't good enough to get a college scholarship, an d he got

on with the San Jacinto Junior College. So he goes to a

junior college to get play baseball, hoping that he 'll do

well enough to get the attention of a college.

High school teammates of Roger Clemens will say

his work habits were the most amazing they'd ever s een.

Wayne Graham will say he had the greatest work ethi c of any

athlete he ever met, and Wayne Graham is in his lat e

seventies now, and has been coaching for almost 50 years.

Never ever seen an athlete who made himself into so mething

the way Roger Clemens did.

High school teammates will say that when they were

out doing things that other kids do at the age of s ixteen or

seventeen, they would see the ballpark lights on. And

they'd drive over there at 10:30 or 9:30 on a Frida y night

just to find out who in the world and what is someb ody

doing. Roger Clemens is over there with a plastic bag with

weights on his hands, weights on his ankles, and he is

running from foul pole to foul pole at 9:30 at seve nteen

years of age to make himself into the ballplayer he dreamed

of being. And he was so successful.

Oh, by the way, Wayne Graham will say that when he

was working on the mound and doing -- after everybo dy is

gone, he looked out in the outfield there, when thi s guy was

a kid, and he is going from foul -- he's figured ou t this

routine. Not Brian McNamee's routine. He's got go lf balls

here, he's a big guy, he's trying to get himself in shape,

and he wants to be able to move laterally back and forth, so

he has golf balls there. And he's running side to side to

side to side picking up golf balls, they're sweepin g them

down, sweeping them down, just like you do a ground er, just

like you move as a ballplayer.

That continues on, and he goes to the University

of Texas. At the University of Texas they do so we ll in his

junior year that they win the national championship , and

he's drafted in 1983. He's drafted at nineteen by the

Boston Red Sox. He's with the Boston Red Sox from '83, he

plays in the minors only less than a year before 19 84, he

goes up to the big leagues.

For those of you who are not a baseball fan, it

may not seem much much. Just pick, the evidence wi ll be,

any profession you want to pick, pick it, and think of the

achievers in that profession. That's who this guy was, the

only thing he ever wanted to do was be a baseball p layer,

and be the best he could.

So at Boston, he takes the town by storm. He goes

up in '84 halfway through the season. In '85, he g ets a

shoulder injury and has surgery in August. So 1986 is the

first full season that he plays for the Boston Red Sox. He

has a season that anybody would just die for if you cared

about baseball.

In 1986, he wins the Cy Young award the first

time. It is the award given to the premier pitcher in all

of Major League Baseball for that year. He has an

unbelievable year, and he's twenty-four years old.

In 1987, he wins the Cy Young award again at

Boston. And then in 1991, he wins it again, three times.

In 1996, he gets to the year -- his statistics were n't as

good, his strike-out record and everything were inc redible.

He's now thirty-four years old. His contract expir ed. He

wants to go four more years in Boston and he's goin g to

retire at thirty-eight or thirty-nine. The general manager

in Boston decides he's not giving any -- said I'm n ot giving

any thirty-four-year-old guy a four year contract. So Roger

Clemens, he's in the twilight of his career was the famous

quote in sports pages, and so Roger Clemens signs w ith

Toronto.

He goes to Toronto in 1997, a year before he meets

Brian McNamee. He wins the Cy Young award again fo r the

fourth time. Brian McNamee comes there in '98 as a strength

and conditioning coach. They say why this attracti on to

Brian McNamee? Two things. Brian McNamee was a go od

conditioning coach. But Roger Clemens already had his

routine. If he had retired in 1996 and never gone to

Toronto, he would have had one of the most incredib le

careers in the history of baseball already.

In 1997, he has this unbelieve year in Toronto

before he meets Brian McNamee, again wins the Cy Yo ung, four

of them.

In 1998, after he and Brian McNamee start working

out, the attraction to Brian McNamee to him was he is a

two-fer. For those of you who don't care about bas eball, he

doesn't just help work Roger out and drive him. A lot of

us, Mike Attanasio has a lot of self-driven discipl ine

himself about working out.

Others of us, it may be generational, we need

somebody sometimes to help push us for the things w e already

know how to do and we do regularly,but we just aren 't quite

as intense about them as we would be necessarily. Or they

push us further, and that was part of it. That was one

thing of Brian McNamee. And he was good for that. You saw

a picture.

The second thing was he was a catcher. He played

as a catcher in college. And he knew how to catch, so Roger

could get somebody to help him work out and somebod y that he

could also pitch to. He didn't have to bring someb ody else

in during the off season. So they did have this

relationship.

Brian McNamee's version of the testimony's going

to be that sometime around June in 2008 -- in 2000 -- excuse

me. In 1998, Roger tells him he wants to use stero ids to

Prolong his career. Prolong his career? He just w on the Cy

Young the year before. He had an incredible year t he year

before. The evidence is going to be it's not true. It's

not true. But that's what Brian McNamee says.

And then Roger goes on. Now, I want to do if I

can, these blue marks here, look at these. This te lls you

what Roger Clemens's career, the only little telegr aphs, the

only time, these blue marks are the only time Brian McNamee

claims he gave Roger Clemens steroids in the entire 24-year

career, only these periods here.

These are taken from Brian McNamee's previous

testimony that I would anticipate he'll say there o n the

stand, too. This little period in '98, then they w eren't

together in '99. Roger went to the Yankees and was pitching

there. Then according to Brian McNamee, he'll say that

Roger Clemens decided he wanted to use steroids in 2000 when

Brian McNamee came back to the Yankees. And so thi s little

period here, he says he gave them.

He'll say, if he's consistent with the past, he'll

say he always gave Roger steroids around August, Ju ly or

August each year when Roger was getting tired, and then

Roger would usually quit taking them in August.

And then he has the year 2001. The evidence will

be irrefutable, Brian McNamee has said in a bunch o f forums

he never gave Roger Clemens steroids after August o f 2001,

he never talked to Roger Clemens about steroids aft er 2001.

None of that happened, according to Brian McNamee.

After that, they stayed working together for

another six years, and according to Brian McNamee's past

testimony for always it will be, we never talked ab out it

again, I never gave them to him again.

So the evidence that you'll be asked to calculate

and look at is, what was Roger Clemens like before Brian

McNamee? What was Roger Clemens like after he met Brian

McNamee? And what was he like in his career after Brian

McNamee says, I never gave him any steroids or HGH

afterwards?

Well, it's the same. His career stays the same.

In 2001, Roger Clemens is with the New York Yankees from

1999 to 2003. In 2004, he retires in 2003 from the Yankees,

his hometown talks him into coming out of retiremen t, and he

pitches in Houston for three years with his friend Andy

Pettitte.

In 2004, Roger Clemens wins his seventh Cy Young

award in Houston. Three years after Brian McNamee says is

the last time he ever gave or talked to Roger Cleme ns about

steroids.

From the beginning the question will be always,

from the evidence, if Roger Clemens supposedly took steroids

to prolong his career, why in the world would he st op the

last six years of that career? Because there will not be

one single evidence on God's green earth from anybo dy that

Roger Clemens ever took steroids or HGH after 2001. And

from 1998 to 2001, the only person that will say th at in the

evidence is Brian McNamee.

So who is Brian McNamee? Well, if I can have ten,

please. This is Brian McNamee now, and you saw him in the

first picture. This is Brian McNamee in his newfou nd

celebrity. This is Brian McNamee on the Howard Ste rn show.

He goes on the Howard Stern show about a year after his

testimony before Congress loving, loving the celebr ity

nature he has now, in an interview that lasts quite a long

time in which he talks about looking for -- believi ng Roger

will end up in a yellow jump shirt.

MR. DURHAM: Objection to the hearsay, Your Honor.

MR. HARDIN: I believe Mr. McNamee is going to

have to testify he said that.

THE COURT: Approach.

[Bench conference.]

MR. DURHAM: The objection, Your Honor, is that

it's hearsay. It's on out-of-court statement by Mr . McNamee

presumably never used for impeachment, but certainl y is not

admissible within the context of an opening stateme nt.

MR. HARDIN: It's just not hearsay, it's not

offered for the truth of the matter, it's offered t o show

bias on the part of --

THE COURT: Overruled.

[Open court.]

THE COURT: The objection's overruled.

MR. HARDIN: In this long-ranging interview where

he laughs and giggles with Howard Stern, he talks a bout how

Roger Clemens is going to end up in a yellow jumpsu it. Only

Mr. McNamee will be able to tell us whether he was paid for

this appearance or not. But he's certainly enjoyin g the

celebrity nature.

What else is he doing during that period of time?

Well, here he is with Mai Tran. And this is a woma n in the

company that he is -- and remember, the evidence is going to

be no one knew who Brian McNamee was before he made this big

splash with his allegations against Mr. Clemens. T his is

him appearing on You Tube. There will be interview s with

her interviewing him about his career and his ideas about

nutrition. Nobody cared about any of that until he made

these allegations about Roger Clemens.

He has been making money off of his celebrity

nature, culminating with the next one. What does h e do?

"Death, Taxes and MAC." Brian McNamee decides he'l l print a

book. That is -- there certainly would have been n o market

for this book before he made these allegations abou t Roger

Clemens. It hasn't been published yet. It was ann ounced in

the market, you'll find that it was going to be pub lished in

December of 2009, but the furor, I think, we'll be able to

find Mr. McNamee, the decision not to publish it as yet is

probably going to be based on waiting until this ca se was

over.

He talks in all in this book about Roger, he talks

about everything else. Is there any market for tha t book if

he hadn't made these allegations about Roger Clemen s? You

can judge for yourself. All of this has happened s ince he

sprung on the national scene making these allegatio ns.

He was asked before Congress, and I anticipate Mr.

McNamee will acknowledge this in his testimony. He was

asked by a Congresswoman from North Carolina, "Mr. McNamee,

are you going to publish a -- write a book about yo ur

experience?

"No.

"Do you have any plans to write a book

about this?

"No."

Howard Stern: "Mr. McNamee, are you

going to write a book?

"I don't know."

That's like in March of 2009 as I recall.

December '09, this unpublished manuscript which is waiting

to be published.

Now, this guy the Government, I'm going to tell

you -- let me say this as nicely as I can. Much of what Mr.

Durham told you in a lot of different instances is half the

story. It's the story from the perspective of the

Government that they want you to look at and listen to. But

in many, many ways it is only half the story.

He put up a neat picture of materials that Mr.

McNamee produced as evidence against Mr. Clemens. Let me

show you what it looked like when it was delivered.

According to Mr. McNamee, in 2001 he started

distrusting somehow Roger Clemens, and he decided t o start

collecting stuff. And so the very scientific way t hat he

did all of this and preserved it from 2001 until he produced

it in January of 2008 to his own lawyer is in this beer can

he says that he had a bunch of stuff, that he had n eedle and

gauze. The gauze they told you about that they had in these

three neat little packs were actually stuffed in th is can

and aren't on this picture. This is other trash he had

around in there that is supposedly going to tell ev erybody

about Roger.

This needle had some of Roger's DNA on it, but the

sample was so slight and so small that they won't t ell you

the percentage is as high as they usually do, but t hey'll

say they believe it -- believe it is Roger's DNA. And we're

not going to challenge that.

This that he says, has testified several times,

this gauze over here, he's testified several times had

Roger's DNA. Well, it does have DNA, but it turns out to be

Mr. McNamee's DNA.

By the way, he says all this stuff was kept in a

box in his basement of his house. And it moved fro m

different locations in the house. And it had other stuff in

there, the next picture, all of these actors and ev erything,

these are all -- these contain steroids and all. H e says he

gathered up that stuff. Well, look at these surfac es, and

guess what? When the FBI is asked to check for fin gerprints

on all this stuff that he says he got from Roger Cl emens,

not one single fingerprint on that or anything else of Roger

Clemens.

Next, this is a picture of Mr. Richard Emery that

I assume will be a witness for the Government becau se

somebody's got to establish the chain of custody on all this

stuff. Because Mr. McNamee didn't take this stuff to the

Government, he took it to his lawyer, Mr. Emery, wh o was

shepherding him and helping him and representing hi m since

the Mitchell Report came out.

And this is the lawyer as he has a press

conference after the hearing showing the two photog raphs,

because those two photographs I showed you, those w ere not

law enforcement photographs, that was somebody work ing in

Mr. Emery's office photographs as they gathered and split up

this evidence as they thought it ought to be. Stil l no law

enforcement. And is this is the lawyer that has su ed Mr.

Clemens for a case presently pending in New York Co urt for

$10 million.

Mr. McNamee wants $10 million, get this, saying

that Roger Clemens owes him $10 million because Rog er

Clemens denied that he got illegal dope from McName e. In

other words, somebody is suing Mr. Clemens for $10 million

for claiming that he nor the sewer didn't commit a crime.

Roger Clemens is saying, you didn't give me any

dope. I didn't take it. Mr. McNamee says, yes, I did. I'm

a dope dealer, and because you say I'm not a dope d ealer to

you, I'm suing for $10 million. That's who these - -

Next picture, please.

Now, this is after law enforcement gets it. This

is a picture taken after Mr. Novitzky lays out, and these

things in this picture are the different things tha t were in

the can. They open up the beer can and they spread it out.

This needle had two steroids -- two different types of

steroids in it. This was in blue.

Over here, these needles, none of these have Mr.

Clemens's DNA or have any connection to Mr. Clemens . Two of

these, I'm not sure which, is the same ones that th ey showed

you, have Mr. Clemens's DNA and steroids on there. And

here's something that the evidence will make irrefu tably

clear. It is not clear to use whether they are goi ng to

call the expert that they retained to Mr. Catlin.

Mr. Catlin because if they don't, we are. Because Mr.

Catlin just a month or two ago tells the Government , yeah,

it wouldn't be hard to have B-12 in a needle --

MR. DURHAM: I want to object. May we approach?

[Bench conference.]

MS. SALESKI: Your Honor, what Mr. Hardin is about

to say is a hearsay statement, what Dr. Catlin told the

Government is a hearsay statement. If Mr. Hardin w ould like

to say that we expect to call this witness and he w ill

testify as follows, that's fine.

MR. HARDIN: I expect to say that.

[Open court.]

MR. HARDIN: I expect Mr. Catlin to say that it

would be very easy to take a needle that had B-12 i n it and

get the B-12 out of the needle and put it the stero id. And

scientific tests would not find the B-12. And that is the

Government's expert.

And he will say further, I would anticipate,

because we will call him if they don't, he will say further

it wouldn't require any high level of sophisticatio n to be

able to manipulate the evidence that way.

And the evidence is always going to be from our

side of this courtroom that what this man did, Mr. McNamee,

is manipulate that evidence. And we'll show you ho w it

could be done through the expert into which you can very

easily take the needle and create somebody's DNA th at you

have on a gauze from blood for any kind of needle a nd mix

them together as to whether that person's DNA and t he

steroid would be together without the needle ever h aving

been injected into that person. Simple, simple, si mple, the

evidence will be. And we contend that's what happe ned.

So, Mr. McNamee has this evidence. He has it in

his basement or his house, his basement, he wasn't living

there consecutively.

Now, what I want to do with you is, I want to talk

about this half story for a minute. Because I want to talk

to you about and ask you as the jury to keep -- I c ertainly

endorse what Mr. Durham said. And that is, is that keep an

open mind.

Let's do first what the case we thought was about.

Let's do number 17, please.

This is what the case should be about. Act number

one. Now, Mr. Durham toward the end of his opening

statement talked to you about things that he hopes you will

do and your common sense and your burden and everyt hing. I

want you to understand what's happened with this in dictment

and what evidence is supposed to be directed at.

Their first charge is obstruction of Congress.

And they allege 15 different ways they say he obstr ucted.

Only four of those ways we contend have anything to do with

what this case should be about.

Act one, "Have you ever used human

growth hormone?

"Never."

Act four, "Let me be clear, I have never

taken HGH."

Act five, "I never used steroids, never

performance-enhancing steroids."

Number six, "Let me be clear, I have

never taken steroids."

That's what this case is supposed to be about.

And if you believe from the evidence beyond a reaso nable

doubt that he intentionally lied, knowing it was a lie at

the time he said that about these matters, and that he did

it with the intent to mislead Congress in a lawful discharge

of their responsibilities and obligations, then you 're

supposed to vote guilty.

But here's what the Government, I suggest to you,

is really trying to create here. Look at the rest of the

obstructive acts. And here's what I want to talk t o you

about as far as keeping your eye on the ball.

Mr. Durham told you that they are entitled to

conviction if they convince you unanimously beyond a

reasonable doubt of any one of these obstructive ac ts. So

look at the kind of things that they want you to de cide.

"Did you ever speak with Mr. McNamee

about growth hormone?

"I have not."

That's an obstructive act, they say.

"And did you on your own do any research

about human growth hormone?

"No, I haven't, I've researched it. I

couldn't tell you the first thing about it."

What in the world does that have to do with

anything? We should be back at those four. But ha ving said

that, let's go to the half whorl. Go down to act 1 5,

please.

All right. This is a -- "And couldn't

you have been at José Canseco's house during

the time period of June 8th to 10th, 1998?"

Remember the Government showed you a picture of

the boy and Roger Clemens in the pool? I'm not sur e it was

clear why they think that's significant. But here is the

premier example of half the story. Here's number 1 5 if will

you put it up in 19, please.

Government's alleged act of obstruction number 15.

Take this as an example.

"Question: And could you have been at

José Canseco's house during this time period,

June 8th, 10th, 1998?

"No."

Now, what does that have to do with anything?

Well, let's now look at what the full exchange befo re the

Congressional questioner was. And, in fact, it's g oing to

be Mr. Barnett.

[Videotape played.]

MR. HARDIN: I want y'all to listen to Mr.

Clemens's voice. One of the advantages here, in th e

deposition we also have the audio, you know, we're going to

have the TV thing that the Government wants to play excerpts

from his testimony live in front of Congress, but i n the

week before in his deposition, there was an audio t aken for

the court reporter just like this.

And so what we asked for was the audio so you can

listen to Mr. Clemens's voice as he answers these q uestions,

which will be true for anything said in the deposit ion. And

what we've done here is we've put together the audi o with

just like when you're looking on the airlines when you're

listening to the reporter to see what happened that we put

below the writing. So now let's do that, please.

[Audio played.]

MR. HARDIN: Stop. Thank you.

Now, what I want you to look at, the exchange is,

it is only after what you just heard where Roger Cl emens was

telling them, "I could have been by there after a g olf

outing, but I wasn't at the party."

What the significance of the party is as far as

the Government is concerned is you'll find out from Mr.

McNamee that supposedly at this party on June 9th o f 1998,

José has a party, he's a teammate of Mr. Rogers [si c]. José

Canseco is a notorious user of steroids by his own

admission, he's written books about it and everythi ng. And

so the Government wanted to tie Roger Clemens to

Mr. Canseco.

And McNamee contended that at this party he saw

Roger Clemens, José and some other mysterious guy i s what's

in the Mitchell Report, talking, and then -- then M r.

McNamee is going to say it's several days after tha t meeting

that Roger comes to me for the first time about ste roid.

And so Mr. McNamee in his previous testimony, I don 't know

what he's going to say now, has always tried to tie those

events together.

So the Government wanted to show that Roger

Clemens, José Canseco and another man met at this p ool party

given for the Toronto Bluejays. And the picture of the

young boy we were shown a minute [sic], according t o the

Government, were supposedly taken to show that Roge r was at

the party.

Roger Clemens has always testified, "I played golf

that morning. I wasn't at the party. I may have c ome by

after the team left on its bus, but I wasn't at any party

there." And that's what he's saying in this exchan ge.

And as you can clearly hear what we're playing,

before he says he was never at José Canseco's house between

the 8th and the 10th, he had earlier in the same ex change

said, "I might have gone by there then, but only af ter I

played golf."

The significance is, without telling you too much

about this, the evidence is going to be is, the bus taking

the players back for the game that night to the sta dium left

at two. Mr. McNamee's always testified he left on that

two o'clock bus.

So if the conversation take places after

two o'clock, Mr. McNamee could not have seen what h e first

told the Mitchell Commission and then Congress he s aw. So

what is the half story? Well, the half story is th at Roger

Clemens, we produced to them, and you will hear abo ut,

whether you hear or not, a baseball broadcast that day in

which two baseball announcers are going to come in and

say --

MR. DURHAM: Objection, Your Honor's, this is

hearsay.

THE COURT: Approach.

[Bench conference.]

MS. SALESKI: Your Honor, this is exactly what the

Court said Mr. Hardin couldn't do with respect to t hese

baseball announcers. He can't talk about their out -of-court

statements.

MR. HARDIN: I said they're going to come in and

testify, I was stopped. I think if you go back to the

record, I say these two baseball announcers are goi ng to

come in and testify to that, and that's when I was stopped.

And they are.

THE COURT: But you can't say what they said

during the broadcast, though, can they?

MR. HARDIN: Probably not, but they can say what

they saw, and this is what I was about to say.

MS. SALESKI: Your Honor, Mr. Hardin keeps

referring to Brian McNamee's prior testimony, and t hat's

also the subject of the Court's earlier ruling that Mr.

Hardin is perfectly able to say that he expects wit nesses to

testify a certain way. But he's not supposed to re fer to

prior testimony because those are out-of-court stat ements.

THE COURT: Any response?

MR. HARDIN: I think it's the distinction without

a difference. I'm trying to say is this is what I expect

the testimony to be. If he testifies the way he te stified

before, he will say X. If he testifies differently , I --

THE COURT: Phrase it that way.

MR. HARDIN: Thank you.

[Open court.]

THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection to the last

statement regarding these announcers. Rephrase the

statement.

MR. HARDIN: These announcers were announcing a

baseball game, and they will come in and tell you t hat one

of them played golf that day, the day at issue, Jun e 9th,

1998, and they saw Roger Clemens playing golf that day at

the golf course during the time that the party was going on.

And during the party Roger Clemens -- let me back

up. So that's what Roger Clemens's evidence will b e, says

in this exchange to Congress. "I might have been b y there

after the party, but I wasn't at the party, I playe d golf

that day."

So then you have this picture that the Government

has broadcast. And the evidence will be from the

Government's own witnesses, this picture doesn't sh ow any of

the ballplayers. It doesn't show anybody at the pa rty. The

Government's represented that this young man may co me in as

a live witness and say, I was at -- I was at the pa rty that

day, and Roger Clemens came by.

So the Government decides, hey, if the key time is

two o'clock and Brian McNamee is gone after two o'c lock,

let's see if we can look at some digital enhancemen t and see

when this picture was taken. It's a pretty wonderf ul world

out there now, maybe we can find out exactly what t ime of

day this picture was made.

So they go to their digital people in March of

this year to see if they can narrow it down. And t hey do.

And guess what they find out? Their own experts ar e going

to testify or we'll call them if they don't, it loo ks like

this picture was made sometime shortly before or af ter three

o'clock. By the way, they do shadows and everythin g.

That's half a story. That's half a story that

they told you. And the other half clearly shows it 's insane

for this kind of thing to be in there.

Let me tell you what one of the -- the evidence is

going to show. One of the most glaring issues to b e

resolved all along has been the one I mentioned to you

before. If Roger Clemens truly took steroids and H GH from

Brian McNamee, where's the evidence that he did it after

2001 when you would think there would be an even bi gger need

for it if it was to prolong his career?

You're going to see from this evidence that there

are several things totally inconsistent with what y ou would

expect of steroid use. Number one is Roger Clemens didn't

improve his career. He didn't change his performan ce. He

didn't go from hitting 20 home runs to hitting 50 h ome runs.

He maintained his performance consistently for 24 y ears, so

that he wins a Cy Young, his first Cy Young award i s in

1986, and his seventh Cy Young award is in 2004.

Neither one of those are doing a period where

Brian McNamee had anything to do according to Brian McNamee

with giving him steroids or anything else. So how is it

that he's able to perform those last six years the way he

did without steroids or HGH? So the evidence will be, a

like bulb goes off for the Government, we've got to find

corroboration for Brian McNamee.

Because otherwise how do we explain this? Because

one other thing I didn't mention. Baseball started testing

anonymously first in 2003 for these drugs. They we ren't

testing before. And then consecutively from 2004 o n. The

evidence is going to be that Roger Clemens tested n egative

for steroids in May of 2003 the first time it was d one and

from then on.

So now you hear the Government contending he used

steroids, but from the time testing began in 2003 f orward,

Roger Clemens always tested negative. So you have a guy who

tested negative whose body doesn't show any of the outward

signs of using steroids, whose medical records show no signs

of somebody having used steroids, who nobody conten ds used

steroids except Brian McNamee. So what we better d o is, we

better find some corroboration.

So what do we do? Exhibit 24.

Now, let's look at this. This is the use of

Government attempts to find corroboration for what Brian

McNamee says. These are interviews conducted eithe r by

phone or in person all over the country and some ph one calls

outside the country. This is the use of resources and

interviews they did.

And keep in mind, I'm not talking about this point

of waste of government resources, that's not my iss ue. My

41

issue is this: These are the resources they employ ed, these

people, to show that this guy was using steroids af ter 2001.

And not one single piece of evidence was developed

from that that would indicate anything other than w hat Brian

McNamee said. A hundred and eighty-seven witnesses ,

individuals interviewed, 268 interview reports writ ten up

meaning some people were talked to two and three ti mes.

Seventy-nine interview locations. One hundred and three,

103 federal law enforcement officers over whether a baseball

played used steroids.

Eight Assistant U.S. Attorneys have touched this

file. What's the basis of that, Mr. Hardin? The b asis is

the Government has been turned over in a salutary w ay all

their interviews. Those figures are based on the r eports

and notes of FBI agents and others provided to us b y the

Government.

And my point about this is, this was done seeking

to answer that common sense question if a man takes an

illegal substance totally contrary to his entire

professional career to prolong that career, there m ust be --

there must be somebody out there that will say, I s aw him I,

I sold it to him, I gave it to him, I was with him when he

used it. So let's go find him. And in spite of th is kind

of effort, they do not turn up one single thing. T hat's

half the story.

Another half of the story. I made some notes

here. And I'll see if I can go through these real quickly.

They talked to you about the Radomski mailing stero ids to

Mr. Clemens' house; right? Do you remember that? Wow. I

mean, you know, we're sitting over there, we see a couple

jurors, their eyes perked up. But what they didn't tell you

was it was addressed to Brian McNamee, it wasn't ad dressed

to Roger Clemens. That's half the story.

They didn't tell you that Brian McNamee one time

ordered HGH, and because he was staying at Roger's and

worked out there and came back and forth sometimes, he had

it mailed to him there, that's all.

Mr. Radomski, if he testifies the way he's always

testified before, will say Brian McNamee never told him one

single time that he was providing steroids or HGH t o Roger

Clemens.

And by the way, the HGH that they say that

Mr. Radomski is going to say was in 2003 mailed to Roger

Clemens' house, do you remember Brian McNamee's tes timony?

His testimony is, is that he never -- he never -- h e only

gave Roger HGH. If he testifies the way he's alway s said

before and testified previously, he will say I only gave

Roger HGH in the year 2000. That's half the story. They

should have told you. Brian McNamee has said he on ly gave

Roger HGH in 2000.

43

So Radomski is mailing HGH to Brian McNamee at

Roger Clemens' house in 2003, wouldn't the other ha lf of the

story be must be for somebody else? Maybe for Bria n

McNamee? Whose DNA was found on samples he kept an d the

gauze? Brian McNamee's. Half the story.

He says Roger -- Mr. Durham said Roger had made up

this story of getting shots in spite, yeah. They'v e always

had this fixation, the evidence will be, about B-12 shots,

that somehow that's a false story.

The evidence is going to be, the other half of

this story is, there are going to be people taking the

strand that say, whether they call them or we call them,

that B-12 shots were regularly given to ball player s on

three of these four teams. That the Astros doctors and

others didn't believe B-12 shots did that much good .

But there will be ballplayers, and interestingly

some of them will, there will be ballplayers who wi ll say,

now, we got B-12 shots for the Red Sox. We got B-1 2 shots

for the Yankees. And yes, can managers legally do it -- I

mean, trainers? Maybe not, but they did. There wi ll be

people who saw or got trainers -- got B-12 shots fr om

trainers.

So the half of the story is Mr. Durham's suggested

to you that nobody legally could do it. Okay. Do we really

believe that trainers wouldn't periodically give a shot

harmless like B-12 to ball players? Well, whether we

believe it not doesn't matter. There's going to be

testimony that they did. So it's half the story to suggest

they weren't authorized to. The first story that t hey

aren't authorized to do it, but they did it.

Let me -- I'm going to look for the note I have

that tells me -- it's really kind of interesting. We went

back and looked down, you remember that story about Brian

Cashman -- I'm looking for a note I had here. And while

I --

By the way, I'm not acting Columbo, I am Columbo,

okay. When you see me fishing around for this or y ou see me

stumble or so, that is not an act. And I'm countin g on

y'all forgiving me.

What I'm looking for is a note we made here that

somehow I have misplaced -- oh, what I liked about it so

much was he talks about -- Mike is writing is down again.

You remember that scene where Roger is supposed to be so

dejected and he's sitting there, and it's a series, I think,

in the playoffs in '99. Okay. The year McNamee an d Roger

are not together because McNamee is still in Toront o,

Roger's gone to the Yankee.

Mr. Durham talks about this -- this dejected down

guy got bombed. Okay. Got bombed in this game, an d I've

got to have McNamee.

Page 45: Clemens trial, Rusty Hardin opening argument

45

Well, he didn't tell you the other half of the

story. Roger Clemens the next game has a heck of a game.

And then -- thank you, Mike. Mike is the one who m entioned

it to me. All right.

Roger has such a great game, he has -- he has a

bad game against Boston, and then, maybe some of yo u, none

of you are baseball fans, I think very few of you a re, maybe

two or three. The Yankees win the World Series, an d guess

who pitched the winning game in 1999 and had a grea t game?

Roger Clemens.

During this time that he is supposedly so dejected

in the playoff series that he's got to have McNamee . It's

the half story. It's the thing that they want to y ou listen

to. These people, I have no doubt, in good faith b elieve in

what they're doing. But the evidence is going to b e that

they are so tragically wrong.

But what they and Congress and Mitchell have done

is they have taken one perspective and they fit eve rything

into it. And all Roger Clemens has done throughout is say I

didn't do it.

They talked about the physical evidence. Yeah,

one thing, a half story. Mr. Durham says, well, wh y would

you say you took lidocaine and B-12 if -- I know wh y you

would, says Mr. Durham. You might make that story up if

what you want to do was have some explanation for a ll this

garbage. For all this garbage that Mr. McNamee col lected.

Well, the problem with that is, at the time Roger

is telling everybody in the world he didn't do it, and he's

telling Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes" in early Janua ry of

2008 that Brian McNamee gave him lidocaine and B-12 shots,

but he never ever gave him HGH or steroids. At the time

Roger is saying that, it is before McNamee has gone to his

lawyer and said, look what I have. I've been savin g it in

my basement for seven years.

By the way, I didn't mention, you're going to find

out from the expects that all of this stuff when it 's done,

it is mixed with ampules that could have poured ste roids out

of them because the caps are missing. It is the mo st mixed

up hodgepodge of garbage you could ever imagine.

There will be an expert who will testify it is

ludicrous, ludicrous to ever try to suggest this is evidence

of anything in a criminal case. And Brian McNamee, Roger

Clemens, rather, didn't even know that half that st uff had

been collected at the time he first starts talking about

lidocaine. Half a story.

The Pettitte conversation real quickly, and I'm

about through. Another half story. They make it s ound as

if Roger Clemens has claimed that he never had a

conversation with Andy Pettitte in the 2005, 2006 p eriod

about whether or not Andy had heard Roger say he us ed --

47

that Roger used HGH. The half of the story is, fol ks, Roger

Clemens has never denied they had a conversation li ke that.

His memory has always been that the conversation oc curred in

November of 2006 after a mistaken LA Times story came out

about them. And that that's when Andy -- about it. It's

half a story.

Roger Clemens has never said that conversation

didn't take place. He's always said my memory is i t didn't

occur after the 2005 hearings, it came out after th e 2006 LA

Times article. But Roger's always agreed with the gist of

the conversation that Andy's talked about. He's ne ver

called Andy a liar or saying Andy's doing anything like

that.

And while I'm at it. If we talk about -- we're

not going to talk bad about anybody except Brian Mc Namee.

And you decide from the evidence whether we're righ t about

that. We're not going to talk about George Mitchel l. In

fact, Roger Clemens, when he testified before Congr ess, made

it clear that he was not criticizing George Mitchel l, he was

only criticizing the things the Mitchell Report had based on

what Brian McNamee said. And you will find that th e

Mitchell Report came out based solely on what Brian McNamee

said.

And finally, in the Brian McNamee matter, and

those of you who have been kind of enough to only s ubtlety

look at your watch and the clock, okay, I am almost through.

And I will tell you this. Be careful of a lawyer t hat says

he's almost through. But I promise you I am almost through.

What I want y'all to keep in mind when you watch

this evidence is his career never changed. It was what it

was before Brian McNamee. It was what it was durin g Brian

McNamee. It was what it was after Brian McNamee.

You cannot go anywhere with the Government's case

unless you believe beyond a reasonable doubt Brian McNamee.

They can talk about corroboration until the cows co me home.

But there is not going to be any real corroboration of Brian

McNamee.

And you will look to motive. The evidence will

talk to you about motive. The evidence will talk t o you

about believability, and you will find from the evi dence

that as to these matters Brian McNamee has lied to first the

Government agents, starting in June of '07. He's l ied to

the Mitchell Commission. He's lied to these prosec utors.

You will find out, for instance, by his own

admission he lied to law enforcement in 2001 involv ed during

a criminal investigation of him in Florida.

You will find that he told the Mitchell Commission

repeatedly in three or four interviews, he told the agents

that started the case in two interviews, I have no physical

evidence to support anything I'm saying.

49

He was repeatedly asked. And then in January of

2008, before the hearings, he comes to his lawyer w ith this

stuff, this garbage.

You will find that every step of the way they or

their representative have had to keep going back to Brian

McNamee and say you're not telling us everything. Or this

is a lie. How do you explain this? You'll hear wh at his

convoluted explanation was as to how his DNA ends u p on that

evidence, and then you decide whether it makes any sense.

But this lawyer who is finishing up now begs you,

absolutely begs you to watch the evidence and see i f, in

fact, this case all along has only been about one m an's

insistence on trying to clear his name. Against al l odds,

against all public view. Everything Roger Clemens has done,

the evidence will show, is a thousand times more co nsistent

with not having done it than it is.

What lies the evidence will scream out would go to

Congress and lie under oath knowing what the conseq uences

could be if he hadn't done it?

If he did it, you say he did it. Andy Pettitte

will come in and tell you he did it and he admitted it.

That was always the evidence is going to be shown. The only

reasonable logical thing for any intelligent person to do.

But God help me if we have reached the stage in

this country where we're going to make a federal ca se out of

denying you committed a crime. Congress knew he wa s going

to deny it. They called him up anyway. He knew th e result,

what could happen, he said it any way. What man ex cept a

crazy man does that?

I shuddered a little bit when Mr. Durham said they

didn't ask for this. He was down there retired. H e said to

you, but he came to our city. And he lied to our C ongress.

Let me tell you something, it is not Mr. Durham's C ongress.

It's all of our Congress. And our Government shoul d never

punish someone for trying to clear his name and our

Government should never ever prosecute somebody for saying I

did not do it.

Hopefully we start prosecuting people for what

they did. We're from Texas. You're from different parts of

the country, many of you from here. I am totally

comfortable that you folks will remember it's all o f our

country. And he has a right to his name, and he ha s a right

to be listened to, and he has a right to be allowed to deny

allegations that ruin his reputation he spent a car eer

building.

This is the first time anybody on Roger Clemens's

behalf will have a chance to challenge the allegati ons. It

probably comes as no great surprise, but we will no t be shy

in doing so.

Thank you very much.
