MY ADVICE: JUST DON’T TALK. Prosecutors defend House steroid hearings that ensnared Clemens. Yeah, they might subpoena you, but just have your lawyers tell them you won’t talk without immunity. A contempt-of-Congress charge isn’t that likely, and not that serious if proffered. Plus, if they ask you if you want to be found in contempt of Congress, you can always respond, a la Mae West, “I was tryin’ to conceal it. . . . .”
