https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-rep-jim-jordan-to-call-cops-over-sex-abuse-victims-bullying-emailsRep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has reportedly decided to enlist the help of Capitol Hill police after receiving emails from a man who says he suffered sexual abuse during Jordans time as an assistant coach at Ohio State University. Several former wrestlers accused Jordan of turning a blind eye to the abuse during his time at the school, saying he had been informed directly of inappropriate touching by the team doctor. Jordan has denied ever being aware of the allegations, and now says he believes one of the alleged victims, Mike DiSabato, is bullying him with emails, according to CNN. DiSabato publicly accused Jordan of lying about being unaware of the abuse on Tuesday. A day later, a source within Jordans office told CNN that the Ohio Republican intends to get police involved after receiving numerous emails from DiSabato over the course of a few months. The emails were described as vaguely threatening, though no details were provided on their content.

OP
I would imagine that if Jordan truly was innocent, he would threaten defamation lawsuits instead

of calling the police because he was being bullied. This excuse is such bullshit especially when you consider the balance of power between a House Representative and his accusers. And then to abuse his position to sic the Capitol Hill police on DiSabato. Jeez

Now I know how he got so good at wrestling - he's greasy.
And if those threats weren't specific in the threat,there's nothing the abuse victim can be charged with, and the abuse enabler would look like a big baby in front of cops. Haha, tough guy.

brow-beating, shouting-down and insulting Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein in the recent Congressional hearings, Jordan should be the LAST person to utter the word "bully".
