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 coach’s prestige or influence. According to Jordan’s 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 Jordan’s word that he never heard of it. Times have changed, and apparently they are changing again.

The accusers are convicted fraudsters and didn't say anything in the last 10 years of Jordan's service in elected office.
"A former Ohio State University wrestler who came forward with allegations last week that a doctor sexually abused athletes on the team sought compensation from the school last month, according to a copy of an email obtained by The Hill.
In an email sent to both OSU and the law firm conducting an independent investigation, former OSU wrestler Mike DiSabato said he had no intention of causing a “public relations nightmare” but warned that he would “pursue other avenues toward resolution” if a meeting was not set up with university representatives to discuss a potential settlement for the victims.
Former OSU wrestler sought compensation from school over sex abuse allegations
Anything is fair game to the Left, regardless of whether it’s true or not, whether it happened 30 years ago or in their mind, and whether anyone gives a rip. They have NO ideas to benefit the country and the taxpayer and are only capable of vicious attacks. If I were a Lefty I’d be embarrassed.
Joe Paternoster was crucified. I don’t even know if the head coach has been mentioned.

So they don’t really know, they are assuming. Some charge.

“Yes, I said 30 years ago.”
Hey, it worked on Roy Moore. As long as you can make unsubstantiated claims from 30 years ago and ruin your political opponent’s reputation and career why not keep it up?
1988???
We did not hear the word GAY or pedophile.
Hate to say it, but Roy Moore gave me the chills. There was just something creepy about him. Jim Jordan is a typical American Jack Armstrong type. (And yes, that is superficial of me, but my womanly instincts have very rarely failed me about men).
Every two years I go in for my DOT physical so I can get my medical card which is required to operate a truck.
They usually fondle the twins every time. Since I don’t use my nuts to drive maybe I am being molested. I hope this Clinton law firm will take my case. /s

Correct. They were still homos or fags back then.
Roy is inarticulate, and Jordan is not. Just for kicks, just imagine how you could get away with, if such was your wont, sexually abusing a COLLEGE WRESTLER.
How about ethics investigations into the unethical “practice of law” by these bastards?
P-C are the political Murder, Inc. of the uniParty mob.
A collegiate wrestler who claims he was molested by the team doctor is about as credible as Mike Tyson claiming that he was sexually abused by his accountant.
In a perfect world, the partners of this mob would need someone to start their cars each day.
It's called the deep state double standard.

Jordan for president.
