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.

Old smear shit. Must mean that Jordan has been very effective in destroying the Democrats and their lies.

I hope Jordan sues this prick for everything he’s got.

Just like clockwork.

Jordan, one of the most effective house member for our side was just made head of the Judiciary committee.

Time to bring him down.

Gasp! Open showers! For Pete’s sake! Most gymnasiums and college sports complexes have open showers- But, the Media loves to titillate, don’t they?

These critters just magically come out of the woodwork to try and take our people down, and they never feel any pain from their attempts.

Long past time for some payback.

Need to hear the recordings and read he transcripts or not only did it NOT happen, but you are lying and defaming and committing a crime falsely accusing.
