Republican Representative Jim Jordan has been one of the most conservative people in Washington DC for about a decade now. He was one of the founders of the House Freedom Caucus, which is basically made up of the Tea Party members and he has been the biggest mouthpiece attacking Special Prosecutor Robert Muller, going after Peter Struck, the FBI agent who was having an affair with another FBI agent and they sent a couple text messages to one another. He is one of Fox News' favorite congressmen because he's a staunch defender of the President and he's trying to take down the alleged Deep State and according to recent reports, he also covered up sexual assault at the Ohio State University for almost a decade. See, Jim Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University for many, many years and during the time that Jim Jordan was there, a doctor by the name of Richard Straus, a man who actually died in 2005,.
Dr. Straus was the team physician and as we've seen in too many instances recently, he was also showering with the boys. According to their reports, he was touching them inappropriately and according to recent reports, Jim Jordan, the assistant coach, who had a locker right next to Straus', knew everything about it and helped the university cover it up. Jim Jordan, the rising star among Republican representatives, a man who is actually seen as a possible replacement for Paul Ryan,.
They also said that Jim Jordan one time said that if the doctor tried anything like that with him, he'd kill him and yet, here Jim Jordan is today, after helping allegedly to cover up this for years, serving as one of the most powerful members in Congress, helping to attempt to derail the Robert Muller investigation and now this man just found himself in a whole heap of legal trouble that most likely is going to end his political career, hopefully before the midterms hit and here's why. Because even though legally, there's not too much they can do to him, what's going to happen at this point, which is what's happened at Penn State, it's happening at UCLA, it's happening in the Harvey Weinstein case, is that all of the people who helped cover up the different abuses from the different abusers are being sued in civil court for their non-actions and that's what's going to happen to Jim Jordan here. Lawsuits are being filed on a near daily basis against the powerful men, women and institutions who helped cover up sexual assault. Ohio State is no stranger to this.
