WASHINGTON — A fifth former OSU wrestler is accusing U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan of knowing about sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss when Strauss was a sports doctor for Ohio State University.

“There’s no way unless he’s got dementia or something that he’s got no recollection of what was going on at Ohio State,” Mark Coleman told the Wall Street Journal in a story published Friday. “I have nothing but respect for this man, I love this man, but he knew as far as I’m concerned.”

Coleman, a former UFC world champion, is now one of five former wrestlers who say that Jordan, an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University in the 1980s and 1990s, was aware of allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss.

The university is currently conducting an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, and says it has interviewed more than 150 former athletes and witnesses so far.

Jordan, who announced earlier this year that he is considering running for House speaker or minority leader depending on how Republicans fair in the 2018 elections, has strenuously and repeatedly denied knowing about any abuse at the university and said he would have done something were he aware of it. The Urbana Republican’s office is currently in the process of setting up an interview with investigators hired by OSU. The lawyers earlier had tried to reach Jordan through a faulty email address.

1. The questuon is not IF he will get away with IT but HOW he will get away with it.

Look at Pruitt as an example of how immoral behavior is allowed to continue, let alone prosper in the tRump Bizarro World.

4. Yes: his name is Eli Stickley...

Wisconsin Badgers wrestler Eli Stickley died Thursday night in a car crash in Illinois. He was 21.

Stickley was driving a 2004 Nissan Frontier when it left the roadway on Interstate 74 at 8:19 p.m. local time, running into the right ditch before overcorrecting and rolling, per Illinois State Police via the Wisconsin State Journal.

Stickley and a passenger — who was not identified and whose status is unknown — were taken to Illini Hospital, per the Rock Island Dispatch-Argus. Stickley was pronounced dead there.

2. This thing needs to build slowly

Let jordan and the GOP feel like all is ok. But over the next few months, let the slime build so that they own not only the perversion, but acceptance of it. Perhaps even drag coach hastert into the public eye again.
