Let's see now:

The abuse allegedly took place between the 1970s and the 1990s...the abusing doctor died in 2005...and the abuse allegations are surfacing NOW? Who knew that college wrestlers could be this hesitant to report such a serious crime? What could they have been afraid of?

Losing their supplier?

The talk is he may be the next speaker to replace Paul Ryan. Nobody would say he grabbed their boob so we're going to run with this and see if it sticks. Same old media show.

Just a coincidence he grills Rosenstein, who says "your taking this personal"
and is visibly shaken by the challenge to is authority. As Chuck said "the intelligence community has 6 ways to Sunday to get back at you".

This is one of those ways.

No surprise here. I refer to the fact that a Republican office holder is accused of wrong doing and the Greek chorus here at Pace Advantage refuses to acknowledge any possibility of wrongdoing.

Funny...coming from you.

Have you not been paying attention? In cases like this, it always takes years, even decades for victims to come forward. These were young men, maybe even teenagers dealing with authority figures; with men who could determine their futures.

The fact is they did report the abuse at the time. To Jim Jordan; and he did nothing about it.

You can’t be Speaker of the House when your party is in the minority.

And here is where you go off the rails.

There is no FACT to the above quote. It has been denied by one of the parties involved. If Jordan was a Democrat, you would be typing EXACTLY that.

No proof. No fact. Just an accusation.

WSCR 670 The Score in Chicago just played an audio clip from a CNN interview with Mike Sabado ( not sure if that was the exact name) one of the victims. He claims that Dr. Strauss and OTHER FACULTY MEMBERS frequently showered with the wrestling team and engaged in “public masterbation and excessive soaping of the genital area.” And that Jim Jordan was often present and observed these activities. Sabado does not say that Jordan participated in such actions.

It was denied by the one person who faces career ending consequences if it is proven to be true. It is confirmed by several people who have otherwise spoken well of Jordan.

Wrong again. I would not make such a claim without presenting something else to verify the claim.

In the case of Jordan, there has been to evidence confirming he never knew about the abuse and ample testimony that he did. To be fair, testimony is too strong a word. Let’s say allegations which could become testimony.
