Somebody thinks the government has better things to do than waste money trying to prove whether a baseball player lied?
…. America has bigger problems than Roger Clemens and steroids, Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday.
The New York Democrat called on the FBI to end its investigation into whether the Rocket lied to Congress.
Federal law-enforcement officials should use their limited resources to target serious threats to the nation, such as terrorism and organized crime, Weiner said during a conference call with reporters.
I wonder if any of the crack reporters on that conference call asked Weiner where he was the last five years as the government wasted tens of millions of dollars and thousands of hours of billable time investigating Barry Bonds? Based on the article, I’d guess, no.
I’ll ask again, why is Clemens being treated differently? Is it because he’s white? Bonds is being colluded out of the game right now, one of the best hitters in baseball unable to get a job, and all supposedly because of the cloud his perjury case is causing. So, why haven’t we heard anyone call for the dismissal of Bonds’ case? Instead, we get to hear what a hero Jeff Novitzky is, which, by the way, is a joke. Novitzky is an IRS agent who abused his position in government to embark on a multi-million dollar vendetta against a baseball player he didn’t like. After all of the money and time spent on the BALCO investigation, we saw the two main guys, Victor Conte and Greg Anderson, spend a total of about 15 months in jail. Now, we see who the real target has been all along.
Bonds’ indictment is going nowhere. He is the guy they’re gonna bring down, cost be damned.

Thank God we have juries. Not seeing that the feds will be able to get a conviction on Bonds.
However, they’ve cost him millions of dollars and cost us the opportunity to see the very best perform because the owners have no character.
Of course Bonds’ indictment will go nowhere. Millions and millions of dollars, the FBI, the Mitchell report, congressional investigations, a best-selling book and a few years later here we are…. nothing. The prosecution is either made up of congenital idiots, or… there is nothing.
Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that people can still buy this bullsh$t after all this.
