This goes on and on, what catches my eye here is that an attorney for the Pats was present yesterday during the Goodell/Walsh lovefest and he is incensed. I would hope the Pats would have some representation present, even as a bystander who watched the proceedings.. what does this ass clown want no due process or protections for the Pats...

SPECTER CALLS FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO SPYGATE
Posted by Josh Alper on May 14, 2008, 12:28 p.m.
The NFL tried to close the door on Spygate yesterday but Arlen Specter’s foot has gotten in the way and guaranteed it will go on. At a press conference in Washington, the Pennsylvania Senator said that “after a lot of consideration, it’s my judgment that there ought to be an impartial investigation, an outside investigation” into the entire affair.
He cited the Mitchell Report as a guideline for what kind of investigation he’d like to see take place and said he was particularly upset to learn that an attorney for the Patriots was present during the questioning of Matt Walsh. Specter believes it “strains credulity to say that sort of practice is objective or impartial.” He also said that Roger Goodell appears to be caught in a “conflict of interest.”
He said he would give the league several months to begin their own outside investigation before Congress would take action and isn’t going to be sending out investigators.
Specter’s interest was first piqued when the Patriots played the Eagles in November and he learned that the NFL had destroyed the tapes seized during the Jets game that touched this whole thing off. He described himself as “incensed” about the destruction of materials but stopped short of saying a cover-up had taken place.
