Coach reportedly said:
“He said, ‘I will defend Jimmy until I have to put my hand on a Bible and be asked to tell the truth, then
Jimmy will be on his own,’” Yetts said, quoting the phone conversation. “I told him, ‘I’m going to contradict you, coach, because I’m telling the truth.’”
Damning quote.
Gym, had you let the story die (per your turning a blind eye), it would probably mostly die. But waging a campaign (behind the scenes) to get silence (more) or walkbacks - is going to keep it in the media - and make you look worse and worse.
Jim Jordan is discovering that, although it might be easy to get one person to lie for you, it’s really, really hard to get several past acquaintances to agree to coordinate in support of your stupid, unnecessary falsehoods.
Uh oh, Jimmy. Sounds like somebody’s going to get Hellickson under oath

Hey Jordan How’s that House speaker job coming ?
Lots of support?
How can Jordan be trusted? He always has his collar button opened and his tie is loosened. His sleeves are rolled up. He never wears a suit jacket. He must think that he is still in the gym yelling at the wrestlers that he allowed to suffer sexual abuse.
What a nexus of sleaze around this guy. When this story started breaking, all I knew about this guy was that he was the asshole with perhaps the most aggressive, condescending attitude of rage at the Benghazi hearings. A real piece of work.
Why do we keep turning over rocks with these big time NCAA so called “student-athlete” sports programs at both publicly funded colleges and private colleges? What exactly does the NCAA do for the students and provide to the education system?
Ohio State’s sexual assaults are finally being exposed by these courageous former wrestler-students. As the truth leaks out, it makes it more imperative that Jordan and others not only resign their public positions but they be prosecuted for aiding and abetting sexual molestation and possibly worse…
These so called “conservative” Republicans…somebody please provide a definition of “conservative” because they sound more and more like neo-Nazis and corrupt individuals who will lie and do almost anything to hold on to power. That is not a US Conservative…that might be a conservative in White Racist Russia but not here!
Jordan is merely making sure he is fully qualified to be a Republican Speaker of the House…
He is currently making sure that he is laundering payments from campaign funds to hush victims/witnesses…
I hear that he has Hastert’s support
The story has even less chance dying if Jordan follows through with his plan to run for the party leadership.
Correction: he’s running for the House Speakership.
The two groups are beginning to merge into a christo-fascist homophobic monolith…
TOSU-instigated investigation is either to please the Ohio political establishment, in which case Jordan’s about to receive several coatings of whitewash, or its after something like objective truth, in which case Jordan’s in the soup.
One way we might know for sure which it is, is if TOSU asking in the FBI to assist or even coordinate the investigative function, given the “probe” part is likely to be pretty embarrassing for TOSU folk. And is so, TOSU is in luck: ace prober Peter Strzok is available and can no doubt be counted on to perform the fullest possible probe on the affront that flexes, Rep. Gym Jordan.
And when it comes to writing up the findings, I think they can count on DAG Rosenstein to write up a peach of a report.
Is it ever possible for these disgusting, pseudo human beings to do the right thing?Surely they were not raised to behave like immoral reprobates…if you didn’t know better you might think that abysmal behavior somehow morphed into a noble thing that gets you wealth, status and a stint representing clueless asswipes in Congress.
Like here in Indiana where the rethug candidate for Senate wears blue work shirts as he screws his workers but claims to be on of the boys. But the rethugs all fall for the lie. Still waiting for St. Ronnie of Hollywood’s trickle down to make it to the rest of us. But they promised it worked and they promised the orange turd was fit for president. i am thinking we are truly a nation of fools
He and Cotton are twin sons of different mothers.
These guys asked for Jordan’s support and nothing suggests that they blamed him at all – the coach, maybe, the school for turning a blind eye, definitely, but not the assistant coach who was just a few years older than they were, who, for all they knew, had been subject to the same kind of abuse. Jordan’s response is just inexplicable.
Collusion…
Dinesh D’Souza has a new documentary out claiming Hitler was a liberal – so according to him, you’re being too generous to the Goopers these days.
