Clemens' lawyers were more interested in Issa because of his comments as a rank-and-file member of the committee in 2008 than because of his current post as chairman. Defense filings noted that back then, Issa was quoted as saying the hearings smacked of the tactics of the infamous former Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who hauled people before his committee looking for Communists.
Clemens was not in the courtroom for Monday's motions hearing.
The jury returns to the case on Tuesday, when the Clemens team continues to put on its defense. The next half-dozen witnesses it plans to call are Baltimore baseball announcer Joe Angel; Terrence Boos, a Drug Enforcement Administration chemist who testified for the government last month; former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Boddicker; former New York Yankees massage therapist Rohan Baichu; forensic toxicologist Bruce Goldberger and DNA expert Marc Taylor.
