Ohio congressman and former Ohio State assistant wrestling coach Jim Jordan has been accused of participating in the cover-up of widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.

Jordan was accused by Adam DiSabato, who was the team captain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. DiSabato was appearing in front of a hearing in the Ohio legislature as a witness for House Bill 249, which would waive the statute of limitations and allow the OSU athletes who had been abused to sue the university.

DiSabato told the House Civil Justice Committee that several team officials, including Jordan, were aware that the team’s open shower facilities put them at risk of being abused and harassed by a team doctor, but did nothing about it. Then DiSabato detailed a phone conversation between him and Jordan, in which Jordan asks DiSabato to help him cover up wrongdoing.

“”””””were aware that the team’s open shower facilities put them at risk of being abused and harassed by a team doctor”””

We had open showers in junior high. Maybe one of the gym teachers stared at me or something. I could have been at risk. I will need to sue them.

That ain’t blood, it’s hair and theirs is on fire. The progs are desperate for a win. That makes them do stupid things. My sister calls it the “tyranny of the urgent”.

My leftie friends are already smelling blood in the water.

"Already"?

Really odd word choice, since this story is in its third, fourth, or fifth iteration.

And anyone "smelling blood in the water" over this weak and tattered re-attempt to ding Jordan is on something.

You need smarter friends.

It has become a medal of honor to lie in the democrat party. They believe the end justifies the means. So to keep control of the House, its ok to make up a story. My democrat friends say that to me all the time.

Exactly...i have this vision of a muscle bound jock sitting in a witness chair next to a judge. He’s crying while a prosecutor is holding a rag doll asking him to point to the location where the mean doctor tickled him.

We had open showers in my junior high and high school too.

And the way the guys were, there was lots of talk and comparison of bodily development, if you get my meaning. Perhaps by today’s standards we were all harrassed. Let’s all get our lawyers.

Talk about OLD news. This has come up several times and it keeps coming back. Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State. A weird Doctor was employed by the University to give physicals to all the sports. Some wrestlers were fondled. The “New” claim is “everybody” knew about the freak Dr. so Jordan musta known and is therefore a dirty SOB. Hang him high! Trying to bring him down like Joe Paterno.

When did the call take place?
What phone number did you dial?
How long did the call last?
Where were you when this call took place?
How many people did you tell this call about?
What day?
What month?
What year?
What time of the day?
What proof do you have?

Time for Jordan to sue?

And the deep state knives come out!!
Jordan is on to the whole undercurrent of criminal activity, and is able to articulate it. Can’t have that, can we??
God’s speed Jim Jordan!! The man who should have been Speaker, not Ryan!!

She’s not much older than I am and looks old enough to be my mama. How does one get that old and ugly looking so young ? Must be all that leftist hate politics and pig-ignorant stupidity.
