Louie Gohmert blames 'dirty tricks law firm' for Jim Jordan's troubles

Rep. Louie Gohmert on Monday defended Rep. Jim Jordan from accusations that he knew about allegations of sexual abuse at Ohio State University more than two decades ago, and blamed a "dirty tricks law firm" with ties to Democrats for raising the allegations.

Gohmert, R-Texas, said Jordan, R-Ohio, was a "fine and decent person," and said he suspects there are political reasons why the allegations are surfacing now. Jordan has been accused of knowing that a former team doctor at the university was abusing wrestlers on the team when Jordan was an assistant coach.

Gohmert specifically cited the involvement of Perkins Coie, a law firm in Washington, DC, as evidence that the allegations are a smear campaign against Jordan.

"They waited over 20 years to make these allegations with the willing and very expensive assistance of Perkins Coie, a Washington, D.C.-based dirty tricks law firm," Gohmert said, adding that the law firm has worked with Democrats before.

I didn't know till today that Jordan was just an assistant coach. How does this ton of bricks fall entirely on him and not the head Coach or AD?

Because it's a political hit job, paid for by the DNC using shady criminals as accusers.

I think there's a book for sale in the mix too.  How better to sell a book than to create a high profile scandal?

I have been very concerned since the start of the #MeToo movement that the news media is dramatically changing the rules and standards for reporting allegations regarding sexual abuse. This week’s media coverage of prominent GOP Congressman Jim Jordan, alleging that he covered up sex abuse as a wrestling coach at Ohio State about 25 years ago (a charge he categorically denies), appears to have dropped the threshold for reporting on such stories to an exceptionally dangerous new low.

... I also happen to loathe Rep. Jordan, as he is a pathetic sycophant on behalf of President Donald Trump.

...it has evolved to create a narrative that lots of former Ohio State wrestlers now say Jordan “knew” of sexual abuse being perpetrated by Dr. Richard Strauss, I feel compelled to speak out. This is especially so because it is clear no one else in the gutless and ultra-politically correct media is likely to do so.

The most obvious problem with this story is that it is not even Jordan who is being accused of committing acts of sexual abuse (though from my experience with the Paterno case I am quite certain that huge portions of the population who have heard about this story wrongly presume it is Jordan who allegedly did the abusing, with poor media coverage/headlines being largely to blame for that). ...

Pretty clear minded review of the "story".

Of course.  Political hit jobs (politics of personal destruction) is the rats' specialty.

Whenever there is a manufactured scandal, Perkins Coie is always in the mix.

Yep.  It is beyond pathetic that this has even become a story.  I hope it backfires and does not derail this good man.

It is beyond naïve to ignore the fact, the left plays very dirty. (and there may be some elements of the GOP in league with them)

What is required , for a successful smear, is to have some elements that are true, e.g.

The doctor was a perv. Jordan served on the team.
