Have you been keeping up with the charges against Congressman Jim Jordan? They first wafted from the swamp around July 3 when NBC News quoted three former wrestlers as saying the congressman had to know about inappropriate behavior by an Ohio State University team physician towards some Ohio State wrestlers.
The inappropriate behavior supposedly occurred 30 years ago. Yes, I said 30 years ago. That was when Jordan, a former two-time NCAA champion, was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State, and, oh yes, he was in his early 20s. Do you know how much standing an assistant coach had attained when he was in his early 20s some three decades ago? It would have been about as much standing as a graduate assistant.
I know, because a hundred miles or so down the road from Ohio State I was on a similar team a few years earlier. For the Ohio State team as for my team, the Indiana University swim team, there was not much money in the athletic budget for hiring an assistant coach, to say nothing of the coachs prestige or influence. According to Jordans press release, he never saw any abuse, never heard about any abuse, and never had any abuse reported to him. If he had, presumably he would have reported it, but to whom? Would it be the head coach? How about the athletic director? Thirty years ago, sex in the locker rooms or the showers of a varsity team was rare. Certainly I never heard of it, and now we have Jordans word that he never heard of it. Times have changed, and apparently they are changing again.

This attack was launched when he started talking about running for the Speakership. That’s what they’re worried about, they need to maintain control of that position.
“Hate to say it, but Roy Moore gave me the chills. There was just something creepy about him.”
Well that’s enough reason for me to have another democrat in the Senate. Creepiness should definitely overrule 20 something years of judiciary experience in elected positions with the only mark on your record being standing up to an out of control federal government by displaying the 10 commandments. You do know this, right? You do know that he was in the public eye for over 20 years and none of these women made their complaints public?
Maybe he would have been a fine appointee in a judicial post, but over the course of his campaign he demonstrated repeatedly that he was ill-suited to serve in any legislative post where he'd actually have to work in a governing body with 100 members.

Not charges...just accusations. Big difference. Probably Bullshit, in any case.
Isnt there some sort of statute of limitations on this stuff anyway? The doctor is dead, conveniently for them so no way for him to defend himself. Could it be more obvious?
Id be embarrassed at this point to be in the democrat camp.
Gives a whole new spin to the "this is going on your permanent record" trope.
So, in this bizarro world, even things that you did not do somehow end up on your "permanent record".
How very Orwellian of the leftist thugs who are pushing this BS...
Someone needs to start a legal defense fund so Jordan can fight back. It is nothing but a politically motivated witch hunt and he should sue them all. I would contribute to his fund. And Ohio State donors need to make OSU explain why they picked the law firm that is railroading this great American.
Now, that’s your opinion, and that’s fine. I won’t argue that. But the fact of the matter, and the discussion here, is that his campaign was sabotaged by unverifiable, 30 year old accusations, just like they’re trying to do to Jordan.
He might have known.
He should have known.
It is the seriousness of the charge, not the substance of the evidence.
Have we learned nothing from that Kinko’s in Texas?

This is nothing more than a politics of personal destruction/scorched earth smear campaign — to see if they [Dems/Libs/Media] can get it to stick.
The new democratic party playbook is to get the media to attempt to sexually slander every republican candidate they can. Truth, fairness, justice, proof don’t matter to Dem’s or the MSM. The only thing that matters is electing Dem’s.
The more the better! Find the literally thousands of democrats that were associated with the school and name them. Accuse them ALL. Show the insanity.
Jordan just had strzok on the ropes relying on his lawyers including apparently a fbi lawyer in the committee hearimg. Maybe the democrats were targeting jordan to try to avoid jordans fairly good questions for strzok.
Jordan and gowdy are beach slapping strzok so badly that he was left a silly grin on hos face.
