Nothing will be gained by the public. If people that are chosen by the public to do services for the public are wasting time and money on this when there are SOOOOOOO many other things that are more important than whether or not a grown man took some drugs to improve himself in a sport, that's a bigger problem in my eyes than what that man did.

There isn't as much as you think(that they can do.) When you got Geedubbya ready to veto anything left of Attilla,then it's a pretty useless situation.They are pretty much treading water until this idiot is gone.I go back to the fact that they broke the law,and aren't being punished for it.So,you should be asking why they aren't being punished for it.If they were being properly punished,then they wouldn't be having hearings.This is a case of overlooking what the rich and powerful did wrong.You're angry it's ending up here,but it's ending up here because others won't punish them in the regular way.That hypocrisy may just end up costing Clemons a lot more than simply using steroids or HGH.He has perjured himself,and now is to the point of talking about "breaking his spirit." I mean he is willing to lie as much as it takes to protect his family from the stigma of him being a cheater.Rich n' powerful think they can do just about anything they want,but we have seen that perjury is not taken lightly.Hard to believe a lawyer didn't try to keep him from stepping into this,but I guess this is how stubborn he is.

I don't think we are that far off on this. They should have been punished by baseball. But they weren't. If they could be punished by congress, I would be ok with this. But they can't. So since they can't, why bother?

Whether or not the Mitchell report was necessary or a big waste of time is up for debate. But once the Mitchell report was out and there were people publicly saying the allegations were false they had to investigate into it or risk the whole report being thrown under a black cloud. I did find it interesting though that David Justice also denied the allegations of the Mitchell report, was personally involved with McNamee, and yet wasn't required to testify. Shouldn't he have been pulled into it too if Clemens was?
