Clemens' Seven Deadly Sins

So, it's here, the recommendation from Committee on Oversight and Goverment Reform, lead by Rep. Waxman, that Clemens be investigated on charges of perjury.


In the linked-to PDF, we see what Waxman's staff compiled as outlined as Clemens' seven lies that should be investigated. In summary, here they are:
  1. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE HAS "NEVER TAKEN STEROIDS OR HGH"
  2. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT MR. MCNAMEE INJECTED HIM WITH LIDOCAINE
  3. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT TEAM TRAINERS GAVE HIM PAIN INJECTIONS
  4. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE RECEIVED MANY VITAMIN B-12 INJECTIONS
  5. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE NEVER DISCUSSED HGH WITH MR. MCNAMEE
  6. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE WAS NOT AT JOSE CANSECO'S HOME FROM JUNE 8 TO JUNE 10, 1998
  7. MR. CLEMENS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE WAS "NEVER TOLD" ABOUT SENATOR MITCHELL'S REQUEST
My friends, this has all the makings of an ambush. I'll see if our favorite blogging baseball-loving lawyer has weighed in on this document yet.

As usual, stay tuned.
