Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio congressman who was spotted as a star by President Trump at a rally last week, is finally getting some vindication.
Turns out that an earlier smear-attack on him, put on by the left about how he supposedly ignored sexual abuse as a coach earlier in his career, reported copiously by the press, was fake and phony all along. Just as Thomas Lifson suspected from the get-go, calling it the work of "the left's personal destruction machine." Turns out the person who leveled the original charge has since recanted. According to the Daily Caller:
A former Ohio State University wrestler is recanting his claims that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan knew of sexual abuse allegations against a university physician when he coached wrestling at the school over 20 years ago.
“At no time did I ever say or have any direct knowledge that Jim Jordan knew of Dr. Richard Strauss’s inappropriate behavior,” Mark Coleman, a former MMA fighter who wrestled at Ohio State when Jordan coached there, said in a statement.
“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.”
Coleman is the first former OSU wrestler to recant his claims that Jordan knew about sexual abuse at the hands of Dr. Richard Strauss, an OSU physician accused of molesting dozens of student-athletes.
So there was nothing to it all along. Yet the press, which so loudly reported the original lie, has just minimally covered this recantation. Will they now report the recantation with as much vim and vigor as they did the original charges? If they don't, it's proof positive that the whole thing was a setup all along

It’s time for Jordan to start lining up a few lawsuits.
Looks to be breaking soon that Keith Ellison beat a woman. And other things.
As most leftists smear campaigns are. Leftists lie, folks. Never trust one even if it is a family member or ‘friend’.

there never was a ‘charge’, the guy only said how could Jordan not know what was going on, hardly an indictment.

When someone recants like this, the question needs to be asked, “why would you say it in the first place? Did someone encourage you to do it? If so, who?!”
I hate this kind of open-ended nonsense. The reason why should be revealed.
Speaking of open-ended, what ever happened to the women who accused Judge Roy Moore of sexual harassment nearly 40 years ago? (conveniently just a few weeks before the elections ).
Aren’t they supposed to be seeking justice?
A false accusation should end up adjudicated in court. People should expect to do jail time - or at least community service - when they pull this kind of cr*p.
The public does not vote. All it takes is some disingenuous RINOpublicans who can say, The seriousness of the charge...
