no, the OSU investigation didn’t exonerate the Republican. why did the press buy his spin?? dailykos.com/story/2019/5/2…
I.e. this was the really bad Politico headline, “Jim Jordan claims vindication after Ohio State sex abuse report released"
larger issue in age of Trump—Republicans lie abt everything and hope the press treats those lies as news

Though this is a complex & ongoing #investigation, it’s clear the DNC has not been open & transparent—for what reason we don’t yet know. This is a poignant example of why we need new laws to open up the finances of our elected representatives.

I don’t know about enlarging the Court, but put bluntly it has been captured by big #Republican donor interests, and if the Court won’t clean up its own act, something will have to be done. politico.com/story/2019/03/…
Its 73-0 record of 5-4 partisan decisions for big Republican donor interests is too much to ignore. law.com/nationallawjou…
Step one would be to undo #CitizensUnited and #ShelbyCounty as wrongly decided, given false factual findings on which those decisions stood.

Since @JohnBrennan has SOOO much to say about OUR President...time to break down some facts about him. Spoiler alert: He's as corrupt as they come. Also a verified LIAR.

[2015] CIA Director @JohnBrennan lied when he denied ordering agency employees to search Senate comps to trace a leak. Frustrated w his unwillingness to admit the obvious, 3 Senate Dems called on Brennan to admit that his agency crossed the line. dailydot.com/layer8/senate-…
[2014] The scandal stirred fresh doubts abt John Brennan’s ability to lead the CIA & could make it difficult for the agency to push back on the findings of a Senate report on Bush-era “enhanced interrogation” techniques that might be released this mothehill.com/policy/technol…FYKg

Jim Jordan has given the green light to victim shaming and blaming. He is modeling the worst possible response to survivors of sexual violence.

Here is a sampling of the bizarre logic and anti-survivor rhetoric Jim Jordan has inspired:

(THREAD)

google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
1. One of the accusers praised Jim Jordan not long ago. This is proof he is a liar.

How is this relevant? Many survivors keep in touch with their perpetrators and enablers. Here is why I kept in touch with mine.

google.com/amp/s/www.mari…
2. Jim Jordan is not the abuser go pick on somebody else.

Abusers do not abuse in a vacuum. In this case, institutional and individual failures made this possible. Jim Jordan was a part if that.
