Value of pursuing Perjury
There were some 100 or so people involved in the prosecutor’s investigation of Roger Clemens. There has to be a cost/benefit analysis of pursuing justice. It’s not like what John McCain says that you stay as an invader until the job is done, even if it takes a hundred years. That’s how you bankrupt a nation.
If you treat Roger Clemens like anyone else, then you should only use the amount of resources to prosecute him that you would for anyone else. If on the other hand, doing so gives you some derivative benefit (scares other people because the media will be talking about it… i.e., like buying advertising), then you use more resources. (Of course spending so much and not winning is bad advertising too.)
In either case, there must be a limit. Because every dollar spent here is a dollar not spent elsewhere.
