This past Sunday on rogerclemensonline.com and youtube.com, Clemens vehemently denied ever taking steroids or human growth hormone. Next up is an interview with Mike Wallace on “60 Minutes,” which will be taped in the near future and air on Jan. 6. Clemens plans to invite the media to watch the interview with him, and upon its conclusion, he will answer questions directly.

Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed on Wednesday that he is moving forward with his own investigation into the Mitchell Report.
“Somebody is not telling the truth here,” Hardin said. “There may be some information we may not have out there. Roger just totally believeably denies the whole thing. We start looking at it — how can this happen?

“To our surprise, we have identified several people who logic dictates the Mitchell team should have talked to but did not. That’s troubling.

“There are people to talk to that were not by the Mitchell Commission. I’m increasingly surprised with the people and issues that were not looked at. I am blatantly, in the most self-serving fashion possible, urging the media to do the same thing.”

“When I was asked about it the first time, I said I didn’t think [filing a lawsuit] made much sense,” Hardin said on Sunday. “[Clemens is] a public figure and the standard is much higher as to what you would have to prove to succeed. But I have to tell you, we’re moving more and more in the direction of considering [a lawsuit] now, in spite of it.

“I would say simply that’s a possibility. No decision has been made about it. Quite frankly, the decisions about lawsuits and stuff will come later. We’ll get this initial thing out of the way, we’ll let everybody talk to him and ask him questions about whatever they want and then we’ll figure out where to go from there.”

So..for the people who were questioning “Well…Why if he is not guilty, then why won’t he sue??” THERES YOUR ANSWER!!
