1. The Jim Jordan scandal is getting EXTREMELY ugly. goo.gl/bmjS6t
2. Jordan has now CALLED THE POLICE on the former wrestlers who have reached out to him about the sexual abuse by a team doctor they endured at Ohio State while Jordan was an assistant coach.

He says he's being bullied.

3. Jordan claims he didn't know anything about the abuse. There are multiple wrestlers on the Ohio State team who say otherwise.

In an interview today on CNN, one of the wrestlers said Jordan witnessed some of the abuse.

4. In response, Jordan released a statement from a wrestler supporting him. But he apparently couldn't find a single wrestler from Ohio State to do so.

He released a statement from a wrestler who attended the University of Wisconsin.

.@squarespace is advertising frequently on Tucker Carlson when it reruns late at night

The company is not responding to inquires about why it's continuing to advertise on Tucker when so many other companies have abandoned the show
@squarespace Last week, Tucker Carlson argued there was a moral imperative to pay men more than women.

@squarespace, which continues to advertise on Tucker Carlson, says it's deeply committed to pay equity

blog.squarespace.com/blog/equal-pay
@squarespace .@squarespace partnered with @GloriaSteinem, @aJaDaNg, @deunivory and @feministabulous to "help raise awareness about wage inequality and how it impacts us all"

Now the company is advertising on Tucker Carlson

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

1) @SaRaAshcraft or @FionaBa47662575 maybe someone can give me some insight. I recently was talking to my sister, shes the one who got me studying #SRA and the possibility of it influencing our past
2) she told me about an incident she had recently remembered after moving out of the house at 16 and having gotten a new phone # that nobody had.
3) shortly after getting this new number she started getting strange calls. A man with an evil intonation would call and harass her, call her terrible names. She had only recently remembered this happening, but at the time it was terrifying.

This is horrible. U.S Gymnastics reached out to @FBI about #LarryNassar sexual abuse in 2015, were given video evidence that disgusted them but somehow investigation didn’t start until May 2016. During that gap 40 girls were assaulted. Wonder what @Comey and were distracted with?
Oh that’s right, they were consumed with covering up felonies for the 150 former employees of HRC’s State Department and getting their backup plan ready aka #RussiaGate🙄 Thank you for looking into this @ChuckGrassley
judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Mr. @ChuckGrassley please consider looking into why exactly famed lawyer Gloria Allred forced her client into a settlement & gag order, how many more girls were victimized? Why did Gloria not pursue class action? Seems odd for her.

I said I did some research on the story alleging that our warrior patriot, Rep. Jim Jordan was aware that his wrestling team members were being molested and did nothing about it. I'll share that now.

1. You must admit that the timing of this breaking news defies credulity.
2. Jim Jordan has made things a little uncomfortable for our DAG and I can't help but wonder if this 'investigation' into allegations involving a sports team doctor who died 13 years ago could be on the order of a little 'tit for tat.'
3. I wondered how it was possible to investigate the actions of a dead man until I read that Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said his next step would be to determine if there was criminal obstructing —if the alleged misconduct was properly reported and then ignored.
