Further tainting the charges is the involvement of Perkins Coie, which, as Paul Mirengoff of Powerline points out, is:
... the Seattle-based operation that served as the go-between between Hillary Clinton's campaign and Fusion/GPS, as they colluded with Russians to put together the phony dossier for use against Donald Trump.
Any collegiate wrestler at a Division I school who claims he was molested by a team doctor is either making the story up, or was involved in a consensual homosexual relationship with the doctor.
The left is skilled at destroying good people. The Holy Grail is to destroy a president in office. Nixon.
Looks like the “Rats” have payed off some scumbags to lie about Jordan. Wonder how much they got? Soros money?
Well they finally got Scott Pruitt so now they go after another guy whose doing a good job.
Examining wrestlers for athletic pubalgia is a reasonable activity for a team doctor.
By accusing Jordan of knowing is accusing every coach and every wrestler of knowing.
Every one of these medical interactions required a doctor’s note to be completed. Most of these institutional type exams are documented on forms. On the form is a box for genital exam. Sue the guy who produced the form. I guarantee it was not an assistant coach.
MSM fake news machine is low on oil gears smoking bearings squealing.
What he's got is a political witch hunt where he is siding with the accusers.
Why, in every case that has come up in the media since this #MeToo thing started, has every one of them been about accusations and allegations that occurred decades before?
If these "victims" would have reported these accusations to authorities back when they happened, they might be believable.
But waiting until a politically opportune moment to bring the allegations to the forefront, tells me that these accusers have an agenda they are pursuing. And they are lying to further that agenda. Or are being paid to further someone else's (the political Left) agenda.
The accusations are vague and not about Jordon committing any act himself. It is accusations against someone who is dead.
Coming out now claiming this happened two decades ago, doesn't do anything to solidify or lend credence to this allegation.
I was on the wrestling team at Arizona State University back in the late 60s.
I don't remember any wrestlers on our team who would tolerate such behavior by the team doctor nor not defend themselves with a sharp blow to the face of this physician.
College wrestlers are not wimpy, shrinking violets.
This story lacks credence from the get-go.
How does one defend against something that didn't occur?
The accusations center around allegations that the team doctor insisted on giving team members hernia tests each time he examined them. For all you ladies and those who never played high school sports, the hernia test consists of the the doctor placing two fingers underneath a man’s testicles and telling the athlete to turn his head and cough. If you went out for football, basketball or baseball, you were administered one of these tests by the team doctor before the season’s first practice, and likely any time you sustained any sort of injury, if your doctor was cautious.
Given the extreme physical nature of the sport of wrestling, it’s actually very easy to see why a team’s doctor would want to conduct such exams more frequently, and any group of high school and college-aged men would inevitably resort to joking about such an uncomfortable process. One of Jordan’s accusers – who was of course given copious air time by CNN this week – even stated that the doctor administered this test every time a wrestler had to be examined. This is not “sexual abuse,” this is a doctor doing his job. (My emphasis.)
So now all the issues of alleged "sexual abuse" by the conveniently deceased doctor, who can't even defend himself, turn out to be issues of sound medical judgment. Somehow or other it strikes me that a medical professional experienced in sports medicine would be much better able to make the call on when a hernia exam was appropriate than an 18 to 22 year old wrestler who desperately wanted to keep on wrestling even though he might have suffered a debilitating injury he didn't know about.
That doctor also had a major duty to his employer, the university, to make sure enthusiastic wrestlers, who may not have recognized the severity of their own injuries, were not allowed to continue wrestling until they were medically cleared. Otherwise the university could be exposed to major liability claims by young men who were improperly cleared and went on to severely injure themselves. That being the situation, the doctor had every reason to be excessively cautious, especially given how violent the sport is and how serious a hernia can be. Given the macho nature of male college wrestlers and their ribald sense of humor, it's easy to see how many could joke about how "old doc. Jones just queered me again" when they, and everyone around them, knew they were just joking about another medically appropriate hernia exam.
Turn it back on the RATs. There are millions of Deplorables who should be thrilled to help the endeavor. Just keep digging RAT, RINO, and MSM dirt.
Jordan’s big problem is that the Big Integer Conference is the “conference of pedophiles”. Therefore, the allegations are believable, even if Jordan is 100% personally blameless.
The Democrats and their RINO allies will never stop Jim Jordan as desperate as they try. Jordan not only has integrity, he stands up for interests of the American heartland, the Constitution and the rule of law. That’s what they’re really afraid of, they know Jordan is the one who will rally the conservative base in November and the mid terms are all about turnout. Jordan is our path to victory. That’s what they truly fear.
