Former Ohio State Wrestler Recants Claim Against Jim Jordan

CTH: Everyone with a reasonable amount of common sense knows the claims that Representative Jim Jordan knew of sexual abuse at Ohio State twenty-years-ago was a manufactured political hit-job. Now one of the accusers recants.

(Via 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.”  more here

  1. Help me out here – I don’t understand, did he actually say something about Jim Jordan or did someone just say he did? You can’t recant something you didn’t say, which is what he is stating.

  2. Mark Coleman is a phucking scumbag in my books. I wonder just how many Mark Coleman’s there were accusing Catholic priests? Not that the Church is pristine, but just sayin’.

  3. @Moe Tom: You are correct, sir. I could have easily made a credible claim against the Catholic Church, and made big bucks, but didn’t, and wouldn’t, because nothing happened. A relative could do the same against Penn State (he has a photo of himself as a child, standing next to Jerry Sandusky). But too few people have scruples anymore.

  4. Tony R. I spent my years ’till seventeen with the Christian Brothers then I joined the US Army. Never had a problem. Some people are demented and make shit up. But with all the Psychiatrists, and Psycologists,and Sociologists and other igst’s in the world needing a good paying job. We have to go along with the shit. It will never end.

  5. I hope you all watched Jim Jordan and DJT meet for the first time at that rally in Ohio. Two men driven for the same purpose. How big of Trump to haul him up on stage, how big of Jordan to run down the list of accomplishments by this administration. Patriotic Americans. What a moment.

  6. @ghost of col j glover – Yup. They’re taking damage and getting desperate.

    Not that it makes any difference to your excellent point, but I always heard it the other way around: When you you find yourself in heavy flak, you know you’re over the target.
