You know, I don’t gag it much these days, but I almost did when House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, attacking the impeccably honest and professional prosecutor Jack Smith, called former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson a liar. Jordan calling someone a liar is like a frog calling someone ugly.
Jordan was the assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State when a pervert doctor sexually abused scores of athletes, many wrestlers, often in the athletic showers, where Jordan also frequented. But Jordan denies he had any idea of this abuse. He was shocked, shocked, shocked. There was sex going on. Listen to the wrestlers who were on that team and where Jordan was the assistant coach, ones he coached.
The DeSobito brothers, Mark Coleman, Dan Ritchie, Rocky Ratliff and others, all victims. All said Jordan sold them out. Ratliff said, quote, Jordan sat on our mom and dad’s couch and said, we’re going to protect your kid. Bring him to Ohio State. End quote. Then he failed to protect us. Another called Jordan a coward.
Now, if you have any doubts about Jordan and this scandal, look at the extraordinary documentary Surviving Ohio State by the fabulous Eva Orner. Once you do that, you will have no doubt that Jim Jordan is lying.
Poor old Jim Jordan. He’s spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying to get the House Oversight (and Revenge) Committee to find something illegal or impeachable on some Democrat, and utterly failed. One can almost hear him crying, “Com’on guys, we’ve got to get SOMETHING on SOMEBODY!”
One might almost feel sorry for him were it not that he’s picked the wrong side of the wrong battle in the wrong war, and all he’s accomplished is to make himself look a liar, a fool, and a charlatan.
People forget Jim Jordan’s complicity in the Ohio State wrestling sexual abuse scandal. He knew
