[NT!]

I didn't say you were a bad guy. I said this is a farcical legal proceeding and anyone who defends it is a [censored] idiot. No surprise, the people defending it are Rockies fans and L.A. lawyers.

You want to know why I am trying to 'get at' people? Because this is not an issue of splitting legal hairs, it's an issue of common [censored] sense. The entire investigation was a farce, a PR exercise for MLB, a corrupt and laughable process on which millions of dollars have been wasted. Dollars that could have been spent on catching actual tax evaders, or feeding victims of natural disasters, or defending the public from terrorism, or a hundred other more useful projects.

Suppose Bonds did lie. Why? Maybe because he knew he was the subject of a witch hunt. Knew that MLB would stop at nothing to attack him and, to a lesser extent, any other steroid user who spoke out about their hypocritical new stance. Look at what happened to Giambi - he makes critical remarks and within the week they leak the results of an 'anonymous' amphetamine test.

I think Bonds probably DID lie, but this is not the time for getting on a soapbox about the sanctity of legal proceedings, when the whole thing was a [censored] joke to begin with. If people are trying to highlight the 'sanctity of the process' here they are [censored] daft, there is no other way to say it. Lying to this grand jury is the rough equivalent of paying an extortionist with counterfeit bills.
