By CHRISTIAN RED, MICHAEL O'KEEFFE, TERI THOMPSON and NATHANIEL VINTON DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITERS  Wednesday, February 13th 2008, 10:49 PM  Roger Clemens is flanked by his attorneys, Lanny Breuer (r.) and Rusty Hardin.  Roger Clemens (from r.), lawyer Charles Scheeler and Brian McNamee are sworn-in on Capitol Hill.  3:17 P.M.: McNamee's lawyers were silent the last couple of days, preferring to prep their client and not ignite the ire of the committee, as Hardin had done with Waxman earlier in the week, but they weren't shy with their comments after the hearing ended.  "Everyone should walk away knowing Roger Clemens used steroids," said Emery.  "How can any congressman sit there and listen to the testimony of Andy Pettitte and believe Roger Clemens?" asked Earl Ward, McNamee's lead lawyer.  Emery was asked about Clemens getting in touch with his former nanny before the committee had a chance to interview her.  "It's as close as it comes to witness tampering," Emery said. "They were told not to talk to her, yet Roger Clemens talks to the nanny and told her he wasn't there. I don't know what you call it - it smells."  2:35 P.M.: On a second round of questioning, Rep. Cummings said, "If I walked in here and it was Even Steven, the person I believe most is Mr. Pettitte. You admit yourself he is a truthful guy." Cummings then went back to how Pettitte could lie when both he and his wife Laura both testified otherwise.  "I am certain, when Andy Pettitte used HGH, why didn't he tell me he used HGH? Andy and I are close friends. If he misheard me, then he misunderstood that."  Cummings later thundered that "It's hard to believe" Clemens. "You're one of my heroes. It's hard to believe."  Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) referred to McNamee as a drug dealer.  "That's your opinion," said McNamee.  "Tell me how it's legal to do illegal things. You were dealing drugs," said Shays.  2:22 P.M.: As Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) began her remarks, a staffer placed a large poster behind her that depicted four photos of Roger Clemens pitching at various points in his career - a photo of him in a Red Sox uniform circa "1995-'96" according to Foxx; a photo when Clemens pitched for Toronto around 1998; a photo between 2000-02 when the Rocket was with the Yankees and a photo between 2004-06 when Clemens was with his hometown Astros.  "It doesnât appear to me that your size has changed that much. Talk a little bit about your regime. How hard do you work?" asked Foxx.  Clemens then detailed his season in 1996, his last with Boston, and invoked former Boston GM Dan Duquette's infamous remark that Clemens was "in the twilight of his career." Clemens detailed several statistical honors he achieved in 1996 and 1997, before he met McNamee.
