Checking sources or trolling for dirt. They apparently contacted all his former staffers and interns.

What is wrong with that?

According to wrestler 8, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Jordan was a “phony” for denying that he knew about the alleged abuse when he was an assistant coach for the wrestling team.

“I remember coming up and saying, ‘Strauss held my balls longer than normal.’ He [Jordan]just snickered,” the wrestler said.

He should resign.

Originally I just thought that Jim had watched inappropriate behavior. Then I thought perhaps he saw or knew more serious assault. Now based on his weirdly aggressive take (claiming “fake news” for journalists performing the act of journalism in contacting people who’ve known him) I think he escalated his own behavior and knows that someone knows it. He’s acting scared and aggressive.

That’s what journalists should be doing in a democracy. Alternatively, you can just believe the lies from Trump and Jordan at face value. Jordan, like Trump, acts like somebody with something to hide.

Yes, dear, in the real world that’s called “reporting.”

Fake News is so much work. Checking facts with 100 people seems like such a waste of time when all you have to do is fake it.

Maybe you meant real news is "so much work," or fake news is easy...

This is a lesson in PR.

If he had just fessed-up immediately that he knew something was up at the time, it would have been ugly for a few days, but by now the story cycle would be over. He would have taken a public hit, but I think eventually most reasonable people would have accepted that he was quite young at the time himself -- not much older than the students -- and relatively powerless himself. This isn't a case of an all-powerful, cult-of-personality-Joe Paterno-like coach turning a blind eye.

No one believes that he didn't know anything so that damage is already done anyway -- only now it's been dragged out for far longer than it would have been. On top of that, he looks dishonest. And, in this case, he is.

When someone has dirt on you, it's almost always better to get it out quickly.

I love his last statement. This is really what it is all about.....It has become a “manhunt on Jordan.”

All-American wrestler Nick Nutter said he believes that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) did not know about allegations of sexual abuse on the Ohio State University wrestling time when he was an assistant coach there.

Nutter, who wrestled at the school in the 1990s, said Jordan was a “goody two-shoes” and simply wasn’t the type of guy to whom he would bring those type of allegations.

“Jim Jordan was almost intimidatingly a goody two-shoes. I never heard the man cuss. If I was near him, I would never even say the word penis because I would hate for him to judge me and think I’m a sinner and deviant,” Nutter told The Hill in a telephone interview.

“Of all people, he is the guy I would never, ever tell. Because 1. I’m embarrassed and 2. I wouldn’t want him to think I’m a deviant person.”

-
Nutter also said that one of the initial accusers, Mike DiSabato, has a criminal record and a “vendetta” against both the school and Jordan’s family.

Fourteen other wrestlers went on the record Tuesday to refute claims that Jordan knew or must have known that student athletes were allegedly being abused by team doctor Richard Strauss in the 1980s and 90s.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said on Tuesday that every member of the roughly 30-member House Freedom Caucus — which Meadows chairs — backed Jordan.

Nutter said he decided to come forward with his allegations of abuse, detailing them in an email to the law firm conducting the investigation after DiSabato encouraged former Buckeye wrestlers to come forward with their stories earlier this year.

But now Nutter worries that the focus has shifted to Jordan’s role.

“I was under the assumption we were going to release this, and it was going to be about the inappropriateness of Doctor Strauss, but it’s turned into a manhunt on Jim Jordan,” Nutter said. “This is not what I signed up for.”

Read all about #SoapyJim's good buddy! https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/former-jordan-staffer-and-protege-had-history-of-harassment-and-assault

"A number of accounts that emerged in reporting from November 2017 detailed furtive but clearly consensual sexual encounters and sexting relationships carried on with men in Washington, DC. But follow-on reporting out of Ohio painted a reputation for propositioning and harassing young men he met in conservative circles believing they couldn’t complain because he was a key player who could advance or hurt a person’s careers. Goodman “sent sexually suggestive messages to young men he met through conservative circles"

No surprise there. “Former Obama ethics czar.....”
More smear. Hope the request is denied.

I don't understand how this is a smear. What part of coaching is it to allow sexual harrassment of your trainees to continue unabated?

This is classic left wing #metoo. Keep getting people to accuse, one after another, to continue outrage. 5 doesn't work? Try 6. Six is not the magic number? Try 7. Etc. The icing on the cake was making sure one was under 18, after people said the boys were all adults. Suddenly a 14 year old comes forward.

It's so transparent!
