Whether Clemens was or wasn't at that party isn't a "material fact" for purposes of charging him with perjury, but it does lend some support to McNamee's testimony.

CLemens BBQ on a stick. Liar liar pants on fire

Another boulder that adds to the MOUNTAIN of lies!!

Soooooo, how long before he tries to tell us that the "B12" shots
were not steroids and not HGH?

I can hear the Texas sized LIE now, "I was told that they were 'B12' shots", and when will it be brought to light that that was the code word for Tha JUICE??? You know it, the players/MLB/the owners/the trainers from The Steroids Era know it, and i know it!! Roger will claim TOTAL INNOCENCE on this one too.

Everyone else "misremembers", but not Roger, he's gonna go down as the only one in MLB that was surrounded by Steroids and HGH but
never "touched" the stuff !!

Now they are saying there is a picture of Roger at the cookout further proving he was at the bbq and that he's a liar.
Other than him lying and now could face perjury charges,
what was the big deal with him being at this bbq in the 1st place that he needed to lie about being there ???

Impression I got was that it was Roger's lawyers making a big deal out of it, think they were trying to pin any kind of provable lie on McNamee, then they'd be able to say something like.."he lied about that and he's lying about everything else". A way to attack McNamee's overall credibility in the minds of the public. Im no lawyer but that's how I took it.

added later- the timing to it all seems to add to the possibility, the fact that it came during the brief lull in the media exposure right before Clemens had to testify before Congress.

I think Roger is guilty as hell.
But with the the big deal that they have been making of it (other than him getting caught in a bunch of lies) the impression I got about this BBQ, everyone went to the party to get shot up or to learn how to shoot up with steroids or HGH!
Kind of like an orgy for steroid freaks !

I think he's guilty as hell myself, just amazed it ever got this far or that Clemens pushed it this far.
