Fourth Ohio State wrestler says Rep. Jim Jordan knew about sexual abuse when he was coachThe wrestler said Jordan, a former assistant coach at Ohio State, took part in locker-room conversations where athletes discussed the abuse.
A fourth former Ohio State University wrestler came forward Thursday to contradict Rep. Jim Jordans claim that he had no idea the wrestling team doctor was molesting athletes.
The wrestler, Shawn Dailey, said he was groped half a dozen times by Dr. Richard Strauss in the mid-1990s, when Jordan was the assistant wrestling coach. Dailey said he was too embarrassed to report the abuse directly to Jordan at the time, but he said Jordan took part in conversations where Strauss' abuse of many other team members came up.
"I participated with Jimmy and the other wrestlers in locker-room talk about Strauss. We all did," Dailey, 43, told NBC News, referring to Jordan. "It was very common knowledge in the locker room that if you went to Dr. Strauss for anything, you would have to pull your pants down.
Dailey spoke out two days after NBC News reported that three former wrestlers who were coached by Jordan more than two decades ago accused the GOP congressman of turning a blind eye to Strauss' alleged abuse and then lying about it. Jordan denied knowing anything about the abuse and continues to do so.

Or are we gonna have to have someone confront you in public (on video) to tell you to resign before your scandal forces you out? Either way you'll be unemployed very soon.

Which hopefully means hes headed out the door ASAfgnP
I came across this tweet, and this Rick fellow sums up tRumps worldview very nicely:
I think it means that Trump either likes you or he dont.
If he likes you then your actions have no bearing on his idea
of you. If he doesnt like you then no matter what youve done,
youre bad. Its not more complicated than that. Hes not a
damn oracle picking good or bad.
