Jordan suggests left-wing conspiracy on Ohio State wrestling charges

Source: Columbus Dispatch

WASHINGTON — Rep. Jim Jordan suggested today those on the left “choreographed” accusations that as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State he ignored warnings from wrestlers that a team doctor engaged in inappropriate behavior with them.

During an interview Thursday with Fox News, Jordan, R-Urbana, said he found it “suspect” the charges have emerged this summer as he and Republicans are threatening to impeach Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for what they claim is his unwillingness to provide Congress with documents related to the FBI’s investigation into Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton’s e-mails.

Rosenstein last year tapped Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate accusations Russian intelligence officials interfered with the election in a way to help Trump win.

“I mean, jeepers, the way it seemed to me was sequenced and choreographed” by some on the left, Jordan said. “I find all that suspect.”

I’d be willing to bet that more than half of the accusers voted for Trump. They are hardly likely to even lean left (unless they are of color). Jordan, your desperation is pushing you to ridiculousness.

George Soros will need to sleep for a thousand years so Bill Browder is taking over the Deep State conspiracy.

Every republicans first talking point after being caught is everyone is lying , except me, and its their fault. But when the truth gets out they always get lawyers and politicians to keep them out of prison.

blind and deaf as a bat while he was at that school for 8 years and still denying he knew anything at all, despite 8 (I think by now 8) students speaking out.

What a piece of crap...

today be expressing how awful he feels about what happened to his beloved wrestlers, and say he wished that they had come to him at the time and told him what was happening?

Just like his hero, Trump, his behavior is a dead giveaway that the accusers are telling the truth.

If he was innocent he'd be concerned about the victims, his team, his school, and urging a full investigation and charges against anyone who failed to safeguard the students.
