Brian McNamee Back at it
From the Daily News:
Brian McNamee met Thursday in his lawyer’s New York office with the federal agents who cut a deal with him last summer that required him to talk truthfully with Sen. George Mitchell about steroid use in Major League Baseball or face prosecution.
The article goes on to say that the feds (who he met with) are not happy with the phone conversation that Roger Clemens’ produced at his press conference. Actually, they’re not happy with McNamee’s comments in the convo (e.g. “what do you want me to do?”), which hurt his credibility and weakened his testimony.
McNamee repeatedly asks Clemens, who played the taped call in a press conference Monday, “What do you want me to do, what do you want me to do?” - a question that might be interpreted as McNamee offering to change his story.
“He’s hurting himself as a witness when he makes that call,” said the source, who asked not to be named. “The prosecutors would want to know the genesis of the call, why he made it. The more statements he makes like that, the more likely they’ll become inconsistent. I’m sure they told him they’re not happy with that call.”
That phone conversation really sent this entire thing into a whirlwind. How do you let yourself fall into such an obvious trap?
