Yeah, suuuuuuure ... Jim Jordan now says abuse reports were 'locker room talk'


So far, Jordan has insisted he knew nothing of the abuse. But there are now at least 5 people who have come forward to say Jordan DID know.

Now Jim is starting to sing a different tune. He is now going with the 'locker room' defense

Yeah, suuuuuuure ......






And just for bonus points, Jordan already has a backup excuse in case his first backup excuse doesn't work.

His backup backup is.. wait for it........ it's Rod Rosensteins fault!!! .............







Another very important point from a twitter commentor ....

As a state employee this man was a mandatory reporter in Ohio. If he heard whispers, or had a reasonable suspicion that abuse was occuring he was REQUIRED BY LAW to report it. It is not his job to verify, it’s his job to report and let the experts investigate.

... I had the thought that the reason he was so sure of himself was because he's been getting away with something for a long time. But who knew what that was. Then the molestation cover up stories came to light.

Not in my dreams did I wonder if he's also a molester. But it wouldn't surprise me. He's running scared with the Fox News rehabilitation interview. This story has legs. I'm staying tuned.

He was hunched over like the hunch back on notre dame! Jordan is a broken man. His sense of Trump fantasy has been pulled aside and replaced with a cold hard reality where he is probably not going to be able to go back to coaching wrestling when his gets kicked out of the congress. Remember how we treated Rosenstein this week? hehe

11. When I was first hired as an educator the usual procedure
Sat Jul 7, 2018, 12:19 AM
Jul 2018

was finger printing, a TB test, and a credential to do CPR as well as a signed form from the school district that I would report any cases of possible child abuse and if I failed to do so it would be in violation of my teaching contract. I did have to report a few cases over the years...it took a ton of documentation and specialists to go through all the bureaucratic red tape but I did it.

If Jordan had 1/10th of the regulations to fulfill as an educator as I did, and he broke the rules he swore to uphold, than he broke the law. Period.

...unless the victim has a disability, which extends the age to under 21.

2151.421 Reporting child abuse or neglect: "a child under eighteen years of age, or a person, under twenty-one years of age with a developmental disability or physical impairment"

The university may have internal policies but that's a different matter.

They're not ancient, exactly.

The first date on the link you provided was

Effective Date: 01-30-2004


That's probably well after the occurrence of Jordan's accusers, isn't it?

we’re going to hear about this. These stories seem to come out in a set a pattern.

One person outs the perp
The perp acts all surprised and innocent and denies everything
Everyone thinks that’s the end of it
Then a handful of people come out with the same allegations
The perp doubles down on the innocent act
The perp talks to a friendly reporter about it
Because the perp is lying he then slips up and starts to add stuff that means he was lying
The perp tries to diminish the activity, like it was really nothing
The public get involved and debate the hell out of it, taking sides along belief lines
Usually more accusers come forward, some because they get pissed off for being called liars
The perp then falls back on religion and says the Bible says it’s OK
The pressure from the media and the public get more intense
The perp drags his wife out to proclaim his innocence and her undying belief in the perp
All the time more and more people accuse the perp
The party leaders proclaim the perp is innocent, probably because they’re perps too
The perp quits to spend more time with his family.

Admitting to hearing locker room talk of sex abuse and doing nothing is at least equal to Frankens fiasco, 100 times more in my book.
