Why is Roger Clements on trial for lying to Congress about taking steroids and HGH when

Ted Olsen was never prosecuted for bald faced lying about the Arkansas Project? Or why are bank CEO's and oil company CEO's running free for lying their asses off to Congress? Why are so many others running free? What about Alito and Roberts lying their asses off about stare decisis?

They say they want to show that lying to Congress is a serious offense. Give me a fucking break. This shit makes me want to vomit.

America loves jocks, but hates ex-jocks, just like America loves soldiers, but hates veterans.
