It gets better and better. Seems the wrester who claimed Jordan knew about sex abuse has backed off that claim:

How much did Gym Jordan pay him to buy his silence? |
More likely he was paid to say what he did to begin with, aka Gloria Allred |
What's your argument that's more likely? |
Doubtful. If they were going to fabricate charges, they'd come up with something more damning. |
Ex-Ohio State wrestler clarifies comment about congressman's awareness of abuse
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/...an-ohio-state-abuse/index.html On Thursday, Coleman told CNN he wants to clarify his comment, and he stressed he has no direct knowledge that Jordan knew of any sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, a doctor at Ohio State. Maybe I spoke without thinking," Coleman said Thursday. "This has absorbed my life. Since I've said that, it's consumed me 24 hours a day, and I didn't like the way it was heading, the direction it was heading." Coleman told CNN he no longer stands by his statement. "I was angry and said words that I shouldn't have said," Coleman said. "He may have known about some locker room banter because we did joke about it in the locker room, but I don't know of anyone ever reporting it to Jim Jordan directly." “I have nothing but respect for Jim Jordan as I have known him for more than 30 years and know him to be of impeccable character.” |
I’m old enough to remember this report from last week that another former coach is urging former wrestlers to recant their stories: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-ohio-state-wrestling-coach-urged-rep-jim-jordan-s-n896551 |
The guy is probably threatened by Jordan goons. |
Or about to be sued for slander. |
Same thing. |
No, goons visiting you are threatening you for dropped a dime is a bit simple. Hauling your a@@ into court, proving you are a liar and effectively lied and harmed someone with your lies is why this guy spoke out and corrected his comments. Good try. |
FWIW, not the UK - very hard to prove slander charges in States. Regardless, even the OSU head coach has said that he will stand by Jordan till he has to put his hand on bible, then Jordan is on his own. |
Nice try. That’s hearsay. |
Follow the money! |
Dcum has terrible lawyers. Apparently “everybody knows xyz” and tweets based on anonymous sources are the way to go.
Or: “He/she is a liar! Great. Maybe so. But accusations are not a conviction. |
