“Pride Goes Before The Fall” - Proof of The Set-Up
_____________________________________________________________________
Washington DC - August 16, 2008
Recently, Kirk Radomski gave Federal Agents shipping receipts that were said to be addressed to Roger Clemens and, according to the Daily News, would finally “link” Clemens to HGH.
Then again the Daily News reported the same while using an “unnamed source” about Shaun Kelly, Jeff Bagwell, Andy Pettitte and Mindy McCready; so it would be consistent if they are wrong about this receipt “linking”anyone to HGH - other than Radomski and McNamee themselves.
Did McNamee out himself as the Daily News’s unnamed-source of information – because Radomski is a known source – so, who is the unnamed one regarding the report on shipment-receipts, amongst other false Daily News reports?
Radmoski said that he handed the “linking” receipts to the Department Of Justice and said that:
-
“Brian McNamee didn’t sign the package receipt slip”
-
And that “The package got to Clemens before McNamee did.”
Radomski included McNamee on the “package's” receipt, but failed to address it correctly: “To Roger Clemens – Care of Brian McNamee,” is how Radomski addressed the package and receipt - which is backwards - it is Roger’s house, not McNamee’s.
McNamee's name is on the receipt which means that it was intended for McNamee, not Clemens -unless McNamee was lying when he swore under-oath that "to his knowledge, Roger nothing to do with PEDs after 2001." The fact that "the package" was addressed incorrectly proves that using the US Postal Service to "ship" controlled-substances across state-borders wasn’t Radomski and McNamee’s preferred "method of transport."
Since Radomski knows where McNamee was 3 years ago, with him in NY, then why didn’t they just follow their normal "method of transport" in using Brian as "the mule?”
McNamee has a history of transporting drugs across state lines himself, so why would they need to send a HGH-Package through the mail at all?
-
McNamee pushed and then transported HGH to Pettitte, in 2003, all the way to Tampa Bay Florida, where he treated him as well.
-
McNamee also pushed and then transported GHB (date rape drug) to Florida and used it on his "assault" victim in 2001, who was given “a near fatal dose.”
-
McNamee pushed and then transported HGH to Chuck Knoblauch in Florida, 2001
Considering the above facts, it is not a stretch of the imagination to think that McNamee would "push" HGH on Debbie, after-all McNamee is a "drug-pusher" and that's how he gets Radomski more business.
When considering that the HGH package was sent in 2003, will Henry Waxman and investigators pursue perjury charges on McNamee - who said in his deposition under sworn-oath that "Clemens had nothing to do with PEDs after 2001" - or is the technicality over "out of context answers" just reserved for Roger?
Taking something out of context is old political-trickery for use by people like Henry Waxman, who does it to push himself in front of the cameras for free face-time and does it to push his party's agenda - to make them seem more important, which they are not - the real Judge is important, as is the Federal Prosecutor's Office - which is over-sought by the President's Office, not the Oversight Committee.
McNamee testified that he was “worried” that Roger might fail a drug test in 2004. When ask to clarify, because he told investigators that he had no knowledge of Clemens using since 2001, McNamee testified that “oil-based PEDs can stay in your system for 18 months."
This is not consistent with McNamee saying, "to his knowledge Roger had nothing to do with PEDs after 2001 (- the grudge year when McNamee threatened to sue Roger) because 18 months removed from 2004 would be 2002 – not 2001.
Dr. McNamee said in his deposition that “Roger asked him to inject Debbie and teach her where to inject it” - McNamee also said that Debbie was “shocked that Roger actually let Brian train her how to use.”
If Roger was such the user, then Roger wouldn’t need a third party- who threatened to sue him - to teach his wife “where to inject it,” because Roger would have known where to inject it and then his wife wouldn’t have been so “shocked,” like McNamee testified to her being.
Emery helped to get McNamee out of hot water at the deposition – but he can’t when it comes to Brian having too many signatures or submitting false evidence to the Department of Justice.
McNamee was asked about the different colors in the vials at the Hearing; but he wasn’t pressed on it. His evidence is the wrong color to be Winstrol or HGH. Winstrol (Stanozolol 50) is white, not clear - like what fills McNamee’s vials. Lidocaine is clear though. HGH is light amber not dark red, like what is in McNamee’s vials. B12 is dark red though and Clemens said he has used both given him by McNamee.
At the Hearing, McNamee went on to deny any deals when under sworn-oath to Congress saying, “No deals.” His lawyer later filed to have Clemens Defamation Suit dismissed based on “McNamee having absolute immunity – a deal offered him by Federal Prosecutors” by way of private citizen, George Mitchell – which is as clear as mud.
Why do some take Radomski or McNamee as credible? Controversy sells is why the media needs a scandal to make profits, but fans don't have to buy the false reports.
See David Stern (NBA Commissioner) press release about Tim Donaghy.
-
McNamee testified to paying Radomski with vitamins
-
There are two checks in the Mitchell Report, shown above.
-
If these checks are not from PED use in Baseball, then why are they in the report?
According to testimony at the Hearing, McNamee first threatened the law suit against Clemens in 2001 and Lanny Breuer said the he “manufactured evidence” and has had it since 2001 as well.
McNamee lied and testified that his grudge against Roger “was a dead issue in 2003” (p. 221 –McNamee deposition). McNamee said that “Andy was upset with Roger too, for not promoting InviteHealth,” who employed McNamee and and was his supply of “vitamins” to pay Radomski - as if Andy would care about Brian's business.
Then Pettitte testified (pg 32/33) that “McNamee was still angry at Roger in 2003," so the rift wasn’t a ‘dead issue at all.” McNamee's grudge was so bad that he told Andy about Roger’s alleged PED use out of anger, and Andy testified that he still didn’t believe him.
Andy Pettitte was not upset with Roger because the promotion deal - that is McNamee's grudge alone. McNamee lied about his grudge "being a dead issue in 2003" and that "Andy was mad too" - which is evidence that McNamee really held onto his grudge a long time and supports Hardin's Set-Up Theory.
Radomski and McNamee, who according to a FBI informant tried to hide paper-trails, decided it was okay to obtain a receipt for Roger in the 2003 - which is the same year that McNamee was still angry at Clemens, for which McNamee is tried to hide saying "it was a dead isisue."
- Hardin is right, it was a set-up
- Couple that with McNamee's testimony that he had no knowledge that Clemens was involved wit PEDs after 2001 and it paints a pretty clear picture
Andy also told McNamee that he was going to be honest and tell about his use when asked. McNamee, who told Andy that “HGH would help him,” then begged Andy not to tell anyone about his involvement – like any criminal would.
Pettitte said that “McNamee told a lot of ‘big stories’ and (he) didn’t believe most of them; but just wanted to placate McNamee.” Trainer Scott Shanahan said the same thing about McNamee – that he “always had big stories and you could tell he was lying.”
McNamee stated in the Mitchell Report that he told Radomski that “Andy and Roger were with “The Program” and this was supposed to be code for, “using PEDs.”
In his deposition McNamee clearly defines what “The Program” is - an avenue for laundering money made from dealing drugs.
- On page 23 - McNamee tells investigators that “The Program” was the exchange of Radomski’s controlled substance (HGH, PEDs or GHB) for McNamee’s vitamins (From InViteHealth) - leaving no money trail.
McNamee said that Clemens was “with the program” and meant that Roger was supposed to promote the “vitamin company” - in hopes of justifying the future influx of money to be laundered.
On page 70 - McNamee said “Kirk and I were good friends. We took care of each other and did favors for each other,” when talking about illegal drug deals and proper compensation. This is not too consistent with Mrs. Eileen Taylor-McNamee (soon to be ex) being concerned that Clemens was jeopardizing Brian’s integrity as a Trainer with the PEDs, which McNamee ‘used' as a reason for keeping the alleged evidence - at his wife's beseeching.
- Radomski was also connected to Pete Rose Jr, dealing GHB, in addition to PEDs - which is a proof-positive “link” to McNamee who used GHB.
- McNamee used GHB in 2001 during the commission of an assault while in Florida. He lied to the investigating authorities then.
Somehow, those concerned with avoiding paper-trails found themselves abusing the US Postal Service and shipping controlled substances, with receipts, across state-borders and into Texas. The drugs shipped into the State of Texas were for the use by Texas Residents – which is why the case will remain in Texas. The shipment receipt alone almost demands the case stay in Texas.
Judge Ketih Ellison is taking his time deciding whether or not to move the venue. Given that McNamee and Radomski sent illegal drugs into his state - one would think that Texas has a legal interest to be served in all this, as drugs are flooding their borders by way of the mail systems too.
Judge Ellison would have to consider the several different McNamee signatures and also consider McNamee’s Program with Radomski and how they victimized Texas residents while abusing the US Postal Service.
In 2005, McNamee was named in the Jason Grimsley Affidavit – as a amphetamine contact.
McNamee said he was introduced to Radomski by Jason Grimsley.
- IN 2005, Grimsley said in his affidavit that McNamee was only an amphetamine contact
- After being introduced in 2001, Radomski and McNamee became good friends and “ran a program” together
- But McNamee testified that Roger stopped using in 2001
Grimsley called McNamee an amphetamine contact, because that is exactly what McNamee was - “only an amphetamine contact," who was introduced to Radomski by Grimsley and who then took the connection and ran a "program" with it. The fact that it took until 2001 for McNamee to be introduced into the PED Racket does not do well for McNamee's accusations prior 2001 - and there are no witnesses or "good friends" that can "help" McNamee with the accusations prior 2001.
Chuck Knoblauch stated in his deposition (p. 8) that McNamee approached him in 2001 and pushed HGH on him. Chuck then paid Jason Grimsleyin 2001 for HGH – who got the drugs from Radomski by way of McNamee -the Mule, who also administered them.
McNamee had it out for Clemens, but had the goods on Pettitte and Knoblauch - then why not cash in all the chips at once – go all-in so to speak, especially when busted so badly and having carried a grudge so long?
My good friends at The Daily News have told us everything having to do with Brian McNamee, we know what he thinks and how sorry they feel for him, and they have given us more false stories from him, or another un-named source, than its worth.
Thanks to the Daily News and Richard Emery we all have a front seat to what is going on in the federal investigation and their latest is that "the Feds are looking for witnesses now" – as if they haven’t been since 2005.
Maybe the witnesses they are now looking for are supposed to replace the ones they already have- McNamee and Radomski.
Richard Emery ought to be less concerned about how Hardin will treat Andy, and a lot more concerned about Hardin tearing McNamee apart on the witness stand, because he will "have to" answer all of the questions this time and for once, follow through when pressed.
Hardin's representation was ruled in favor by Judge Ellison and Emery's "motion to dismiss Rusty" was denied - The real courts want fact, not fluff.

Patrick,
Are you watching the game ? Its times like this that I wish we had someone like Roger pitching for us.
The yanks cant get much worse.
Its refreshing to read something unique.

Clemens was a 4.18 last yr and some consider that bad, but not compared to this team. 4.18 ERA is one of his worst ERAs and it would be third best on this team. No, I don't subscribe to the media-scandal, I watch the courts and look for info on the investigation itself - and wish all did the same.
Thanks Natalya -
Bottom of 13th, 2 to 2, Ponson threw a gem- and these guys still cant hit enough to win ...its bad.

Did you take a close look at the different signatures by McNamee in the photo?

It's a little long of an article, but worth the time to read. He does have different signatures, but if he wasn't there then how could he have signed?

Thanks-
The shipment was addressed to McNamee, so how does it prove that it was for Clemens? Or accepted "for" Clemens use? If it weren't for McNamee and just for Roger, then it would not have McN's name on it -

Patrick,
Atleast the Yanks won yesterdays game. The Yanks cant depend on two aces to get us to the post season ( Pettite & Moose).

Yes they did - the Yanks have often beat teams senseless this year, only to go on to lose. If they can score that many runs in one game, it tells me that they have no heart. Where have these bats been all year, other than inconsistent?
At least with Clemens you know he is ALL heart and brings a winning attitude to the team. He's the pit bull in the corner that barks at everyone when screwing up - NY needs his leadership and his talent -
suffice it to say, if they dont get clemens - theyre done for the yr as am I. Kids will only get them; where they got them and nobady on this team can improve this team - they already got the team to where they are now - bad ....thats my attempt at being yogi for a day.
On a side note - I say HURRAY Moose - 16 going on 20 wins for the 1st time in his career! Cy Young talks abound too - which would be another 1st for Mike...no one deserves it more than that guy - one of my favorite guys on the team.

To Dave -
I can only say that the Daily News has slowed down a lot from 2 months ago - regarding Clemens and the crap they were publishing - I wrote about one of their writers who was at the Hearing practically dancing a jig in his seat, laughing about all the money he would make with BS angles and taking advantage of others -
I video taped him (some others too) and wrote a piece on it. Where are they with their latest rants about Clemens? Who knows, it seems the "unMcNameed" source has gone sour!
I read what ML had to write about Bush and spit my coffee out onto the screen - he's a joke and hasnt heard the term "Dont throw stones when youre living in a glass house" - I let his take have it in this piece and am waiting to take it further if need be. "You know how I do" :)

Rusty?
Great lawyer - former Federal Prosecutor - indicted BILL CLINTON while working for KEN STARR - oops.
He also exonerated the DUKE LACROSSE TEAM from rape charges - a prosecutor was DISBARRED from withholding innocence proving evidence .... everyone "just knew" that they were guilty too.
He just won another law suit - some air line stewardess was trying to make the big bucks by suing a rich lady who harassed her - the suit was tossed quicker than mcnamees flip.
He says that McNamee has been planning to set up or blackmail clemens since he first threatened to sue clemens in 2001 -
having read the last 2 articles, Ed, I dont know how you can still have faith in McNamee -
Thats what the courts are for though...unless some bum gives in and gives a deal - of course that is usually reserved to "get bigger fish" up the chain - not down the chain -
howd McNamee work that deal, that he denied to congress anyhow?
:)

Also - dont forget how much tax money that the Yanks have paid for all of our benefit, or those who choose to "take advantage"...his local taxes have put thousands of kids through school - he pays county and state taxes too, plus federal ...add to everything that you pay and then throw in fees and licenses - dude it is a huge amount. after you make so much money - you end up paying 60% in taxes...I pay 40% because it is commission based income = there fore the taxes are higher than they would be if I made it on a salaried job - humph!

Eddie
If Congress or the next President raised the tax rates on ALL imports .....
1.) we would first see a sharp rise in goods
2.) because of the high prices, new businesses in America would form-up to compete *
-many would merge to mass produce
3.) when the new businesses started to affect the bigger businesses market - then we would see an influx of American Owned Business coming back to manufacture and ship right here, in the USA
4.) Because of a higher import tax - foreign owned businesses would also want to build manufacturing plants here too and ship from within
RAISE THE IMPORT TAX and charge countries a flat tax - charge them what China Charges Us in their import tax structure - that is having faith in America to take advantage of a "free market system"
- at the same time - create a TAX INCENTIVE for ALL Businesses whom are located in the USA (foreign or not) and create a TAX PENALTY for American Companies who operate on foreign soil .... this is also called economic warfare
.....in the long run, America has the deep pockets - so we control our own destiny - so long as politicians can keep from taking the grease given them to run their campaigns
My Take

Or congress could just raise " import taxes " on American Owned Companies who manufacture and ship from foreign soil - that seems more fair.
how would our allies feel if we raised taxes on them? Cant really raise taxes on one country and not all - thats discrimination. of course it is what china does - so maybe one exception to the rule is warranted . fight fire with fire so to speak :)

I really enjoyed this article, it seems that there are a few of us out there that remember that no matter how the press depicts it, no one has proven anything on roger yet. Not only that but, why would he risk jail time and fines just to lie in court about everything. Roger went to court first to pursue damages from McNamee's false allegations. I really admire roger and I hope he gets cleared so that nothing will stop him from getting into the hall of fame where he belongs.

I couldnt have said it better myself Justin.
Ive watched the guy since 83 and have yet to see anyone better. And contrary to pop media sales jobs - his best years were not when he was old. The 2 lowest ERA's he's had are not under suspicion. In 2004 he had a 1.74 ERA without accusation-- which should tell everyone that he was that good as an older player. .. like Nolan.
I think the least we could do is give him the benefit of the doubt over that "thing" making outlandish accusations; but simply put - controversy sells. The guy had an unreal work ethic - and now its being used against him, instead of being viewed as a positive. He was a pit bull that scared hitters--and for good reason.
Doesnt it make sense that if McNamee was already busted--and had been since 2005's Grimsley Aff--that he might throw the biggest name in baseball under the bus, who he had a personal vendetta against?
As far as I know Radomski's book is doing well... when will McNamee's come out?? More Motive. Since Mitchell assured everyone that the accusers would not benefit financially from their accusations - and now Radomski has yet to be punished for publishing, then its only a matter of time before Mac does his own. So he lied to stay out of jail and to make a buck...
Every single piece of evidence thus far has been discounted. Now they're so desperate that they are testing vials handed in by McNamee - who had kept them for several years. Its a ploy to win more public support alone, because its inadmissible in Court. Unless the DOJ has changed the rules for their new friend and ally - the drug dealing rapist.
Relative the vials - false evidence?? Here's some interesting facts that I came across:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/46413-roger-clemens-did-brian-mcnamee-submit-false-evidence-to-doj
I'd say stay tuned and in Roger's corner.
