How about sending the Capitol PD to the Congress and Senate and have them confiscate all the tokens those jokers have accepted over the years.

But yeah, I’m sure Congressional ethics are so much stronger than security guards…

I mean, think about it, those security guards, whose sole function is to get a person safely from their vehicle to the courtroom without them being attacked by the media, could have been influenced (positively) by the receipt of a signed baseball. I bet if that were Barry Bonds or A-Rod, those guards would have refused to do their job, absent a memorabilia piece. Yep. No question in my mind that the only reason Clemens is safe today is because those security guards got an autographed baseball.

Clemens conspired to obstruct justice through bribery.
