Both Charley and Chuck have bemoaned the fact that Roger Clemens "sandbagged" poor little McNamee by taping the phone conversation without telling him it was being recorded. How do we know McNamee wasn't also taping it? How do we know he wasn't trying to set Roger up for a charge of "witness tampering"?
If McNamee is so financially destitute, who is paying his attorney's fees?
