Canadian police assisting in Clemens perjury case

Roger Clemens is getting everyone involved at this point, huh? Last month, he plead not guilty to lying to the feds about whether or not he took performance-enhancing drugs. The feds obviously think he was lying, because they are going after him big time for perjury. In case you hadn’t noticed, the feds don’t like to be lied to.

And now, the Canadian police are involved. They’ve agreed to assist the United States in their case against Clemens, but executing a seizure of documents from the Toronto Blue Jays, where Clemens played for a few years in the 1990′s.

“We assisted the U.S. Department of Justice by turning over documents,” Toronto police Const. Tony Vella told the Star Thursday morning.

The search warrant was executed “to assist the U.S. government,” according to Vella.

And at this point, the Canadians are done on their end.

“All the documents are with the U.S. Department of Justice now and that ends our involvement. It is their investigation,” Vella said.

If convicted of all six charges – three on making false statements, two of perjury and one of obstruction of Congress – Clemens could face up to 30 years in federal prison to go with a cozy little $1.5 million fine. Although, according to the Star, 15-21 months is more likely.
