Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) reiterated through a spokesman on Friday that he is still awaiting an investigation to be completed over allegations that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) knew about claims of sexual abuse involving the Ohio State University wrestling team.

"These are serious allegations and issues," Ryan's spokesman Doug Andres told USA Today in an email. "The university has rightfully initiated a full investigation into the matter. The speaker will await the findings of that inquiry."

Ryan's office had released the statement earlier this week amid the July 4 recess, but reiterated his position after more former wrestlers at Ohio State accused Jordan, a leader of the House Freedom Caucus, of knowing about alleged sexual abuse by the team doctor and not taking action.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman on Thursday became fifth former OSU wrestler to accuse Jordan of not taking action while serving as an assistant coach, saying that unless Jordan has "dementia" he knew about the alleged abuse.

“There’s no way unless he’s got dementia or something that he’s got no recollection of what was going on at Ohio State,” Coleman said. “I have nothing but respect for this man, I love this man, but he knew as far as I’m concerned.”

One of Jordan’s former wrestlers, Dunyasha Yetts, came forward this week and said that he and his teammates personally complained to Jordan and others about a team doctor’s inappropriate sexual behavior many times.

Jordan pushed back strongly against the accusations in a Fox News interview Friday night, arguing that conversations in the locker room did not amount to formal accusations and saying that no one directly reported abuse to him.

“Conversations in a locker room are a lot different than allegations of abuse or reported abuse,” Jordan said Friday, adding that “no one ever reported any abuse to me.”

If a coach found out a team doctor was molesting his athletes the team doctor would be a threat to the athletic program. The doctor would be quietly fired immediately. In addition the athletes would have already kicked the doctor ass.

This is all Bravo Sierra.

Couldn’t happen soon enough. Paul Rino Ryan is a permanent stain on the party he claims to represent.

Yep Paul Ryan, just like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio is completely compromised into doing the Deep State and globalists’ open-borders work for them. That’s the real reason for all this government spying on our own citizens, it gives the open-borders globalists like the Chamber of Commerce, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros, the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson the goods they need to push the blackmail. Since the Democrats are all-in for pen borders anyway, the government surveillance gives the globalists all the dirt they need to turn a few Republicans into RINOs to support the open-borders push to destroy the United States. Too bad for them it won’t work on Jim Jordan.
