    Ex-Ohio State wrestlers accuse Rep. Jim Jordan of knowing about sexual abuse by team doctor

    Multiple former Ohio State wrestlers have gone on the record accusing Jim Jordan, a prominent Republican Congressman from Ohio, of turning a blind eye to alleged sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, a longtime Ohio State team doctor.

    In April, Ohio State announced an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Strauss, who died in 2005 at age 67, after one alleged victim came forward saying he and other athletes were abused by Strauss “from the mid-1970s to the 1990s.” Jordan, an assistant coach for the Buckeyes from 1986 to 1994, has denied having any knowledge of the alleged abuse.

    Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s outspoken, loyal former campaign manager, is scheduled to appear Tuesday to discuss the report by former special counsel Robert Mueller. But it’s unlikely that Democrats will get much new information as they decide whether to draft articles of impeachment against the president.

    snip

    Still, the Judiciary panel is moving ahead, approving rules for impeachment hearings last week. Among those guidelines is allowing staff to question witnesses, as will happen for the first time with Lewandowski.

    Lewandowski was a central figure in Mueller’s report. Mueller’s investigators detailed two episodes in which Trump asked Lewandowski to direct then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to limit Mueller’s investigation. Trump said that if Sessions would not meet with Lewandowski, then Lewandowski should tell Sessions he was fired.

    look for some SERIOUSLY deranged tweet from Donny, if that's possible
    Approving a bunch of stupid rules is not an impeachment hearing, dumbass.

    Trump's going to prison for tax evasion and money laundering, first impeached for obstruction of justice

    Lewandowski will already be there to greet him - lying to Congress and contempt of Congress

    Those GOP snowflakes at the hearing kept saying "why are we having all these investigations??…….and yet

    Here’s a list of all the congressional investigations and what they found.
    I
    nvestigation 1: The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
    The House Oversight Committee was one of the first committees to question Clinton following the Benghazi attack. On Sept. 16, 2013, the Republican-led committee released an interim report on the Accountability Review Board appointed by Clinton. The report raised questions about the independence and integrity of the Accountability Review Board (since Clinton appointed the board to investigate her own department) and criticized the conclusions in the board’s final report.

    Investigation 2: The Senate Committee On Homeland Security And Governmental Affairs
    This bipartisan committee released a report in December 2012 detailing the "high risk" of a terrorist attack at the U.S. facilities in Libya. While the report criticized the State Department for not addressing the security concerns leading up to the attack, it also found "administration officials were inconsistent in stating publicly that the deaths in Benghazi were the result of a terrorist attack." The report attributed the State Department’s security failures to intelligence problems and a failure "to imagine the type of attack that occurred."

    Investigation 3: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
    The Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan report in January 2014 calling the Benghazi attacks "preventable." Among other findings, the committee concluded the State Department had received ample warning about deteriorating security in Libya and failed to adequately increase security in the weeks leading up to the attack. The report also faulted intelligence officials for not relaying information on the CIA annex to the U.S. military.

    Investigation 4: The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
    Clinton testified before this House committee on Jan. 23, 2013 (she also testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier that day). The House Committee on Foreign Affairs later released a report criticizing Clinton and other high-ranking officials who they said were "provided extensive warning of the deteriorating security environment in eastern Libya." The report also criticized the State Department’s Accountability Review Board, which "was seriously deficient in several respects," especially in its failure to comment on the actions of the department’s highest ranking officials, including Clinton.

    Investigation 5: The House Committee on the Judiciary
    The focus of the Committee on the Judiciary’s probe was the FBI investigation that followed the terrorist attack. The committee released its findings in April 2013 as part of an interim progress report in conjunction with the five other Republican-led committees investigating Benghazi. The report detailed how the FBI did not investigate the scene until three weeks after the attack and spent less than one day collecting evidence in Benghazi. The committee also faulted Clinton for reducing security at the Benghazi consulate, despite her testimony that she "had no knowledge" of security requests from the compound.

    Investigation 6: The House Committee on Armed Services
    The Armed Services Committee began its investigation "immediately after the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya… to evaluate the response of the Department of Defense" to the attack, according to a February 2014 committee report. The Republican-led committee bashed the Obama administration’s failure to address security threats in Benghazi, asserting that the military was unprepared for possible violence in Libya.

    Investigation 7: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
    The House Intelligence Committee concluded its two-year Benghazi investigation in November 2014 when it released a report exonerating the Obama administration of wrongdoing in its response to the attack. The report found evidence of contradicting intelligence among government officials and concluded officials did not intentionally mislead the public with information in the days following the attack.


    got hypocrisy?

    Lewandowski appeared to mock California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s unsuccessful bid for the White House earlier this year, calling him “President Swalwell” at one point during questioning.

    Lewandowski wouldn't answer any questions, kept reading the same stupid prepared statement over and over again, the House Democrats will take it all to Court which with Trump'a stalling strategdy will take years. They ought to start fining them

    If the Democrats win the House in 2020 it will all hit the fan regardless if Trump is President or not, plus the precedents that are being set by this Adminstration will nearly end any Comgressional oversight of any Adminstration down the road, and it wasn't that long ago that conservatives told us limited Gov't was a principle with them

    Refusing to answer Congressional subpoenas or deliberately refusing to answer questions of a Congressional Hearing could be a serious offense, and given that it will go to the Courts, it won't be resolved for two or three years, ergo, post 2020. If Trump isn't reelected a lot of these individuals will be out there hanging on their own

    They can call it whatever they want, it's not an impeachment hearing according to the Constitution.

    No, it is oversight, remember the Founders put checks and balances in the Constitution for a reason

    You people think any criticism regarding Trump from any source is harassment, and yet you applaud him using the power of the Presidency to personally attack individual Americans, now there's a balanced outlook
