https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/06/us/politics/jim-jordan-sexual-misconduct.htmlJim Jordan Is Defiant as Allegations Mount, and Supporters Point to Deep State
Representative Jim Jordan is facing the kind of slowly percolating scandal that would bring down other politicians in other times, as new accusers step forward by the day to say the wrestling coach turned politician was aware of sexual misconduct at Ohio State University but did nothing to stop it.
But like the man Mr. Jordan doggedly supports, President Trump, the Ohio Republican has the kind of stalwart supporters who do not lose faith easily, and they are already defending the conservative powerhouse, saying he is the victim of the same deep state conspirators liberal bureaucrats embedded in the government who are trying to bring down the president.

When the shows host, Bret Baier, read a quotation by a former Ohio State wrestler and Ultimate Fighting Championship star, Mark Coleman, that Mr. Jordan would have to have dementia to have forgotten what happened, the congressman offered little explanation.
I feel sorry for him, he said of Mr. Coleman. Its just not accurate.
Instead, Mr. Jordan continued to fan conspiracy theories connecting the emergence of the charges to his aggressive questioning last month of Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, the man many Trump supporters hold responsible for the Russia investigation.
I think the timing is suspect when you think about how this whole story came together after the Rosenstein hearing and the speakers race, he said.

There is no fucking deep state. It's their scapegoat for everything these days. Jim Jordan is a fucking asshole who got caught with his pants down, you can't blame it on anything else.
