The Waxman-Davis House committee has requested that the Department of Justice look into whether Roger Clemens fibbed to congressional staffers and the committee itself earlier this month.

First, understand that it's a request and not an order from the committee. And second, understand that the Justice Department could have pursued this without the urging of Congress.

Having said that, it's certainly not good news for Clemens to have the feds possibly breathing down his neck. It's also not good news for the Yankees because now Andy Pettitte knows for sure that his involvement in this thing is far from over.
