Previous to Friday’s release, his accusers had alleged more than 20 school officials and staff members, including two athletic directors and a coach who is now a congressman -- Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan -- were aware of concerns about Strauss but didn’t stop him. Most of those claims are part of two related lawsuits against Ohio State that are headed to mediation .
Rep. Jordan and other coaches are not mentioned by name in the report.
The university has said the law firm’s work included determining what Ohio State and its leaders knew during Strauss’ tenure.
If talking with Russians is a crime then we have a problem. Thousands of Americans, many high in democrat politics, are guilty.
There is a reason Jordan's name was not mentioned in the court proceedings against the accused criminals. There is also a reason crooked democrats are falsely accusing Jordan of something he did not do.
Not voter impersonation
/// There is also a reason...... /// Tell us what that reason is, then support it with factual, credible evidence. thanks
Typical corrupt democrat methods of crookedly slandering and persecuting republicans for unjust democrat advantage.

If registration records in our national voter file are never wrongly marked as having been
used to vote, we estimate that about 1 in 4,000 votes cast in 2012 were double votes. But
inaccurate marking of vote records would cause this estimate to overstate the number of true
double votes. In fact, a 1.3% clerical error rate would be sufficient to explain all of these
apparent double votes. Unfortunately, no data exist to make a definitive statement about
the error rate nationwide. However, a comparison we make of vote records in a poll book
to vote records in a voter file supports the idea of enough measurement error to explain at
least some, and potentially nearly all, of the apparent double votes.
I think indies would prefer Trump over Biden. The economy is doing fine, and the last sitting POTUS to lose releection was Bush 1 because of it. When it comes to personality, its the Orange Nut versus the Creepy Uncle, so it looks like a tie to me in that category.
And so to many people so was Hillary. And after nearly 3 years the left still doesn't get it.
You still need someone who can beat Cheeto. I don't see any among the current crop.
Democrats have found no democrat voter fraud in any of their precincts. No kidding.
Trump’s real political problem is self-identified independents and voters who don’t love him or hate him. In the 2018 midterms, independents broke heavily for the Democrats in U.S. House elections (+12), as did voters who “somewhat” disapproved of the president (+29), according to exit polls. In this Quinnipiac survey, all the Democratic candidates had double digit leads over Trump among independents, and those are the numbers that should worry the president and his political team.
Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an Indiana law barring abortions based on a fetus' sex, race or disability, while allowing a separate state measure requiring fetal remains to be buried or cremated to take effect.
The justices declined to review a lower court's decision overturning a law restricting when and why an abortion could be performed. Vice President Mike Pence signed the measure into law in 2016 when he was Indiana governor, and it was blocked by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals last year
Men of questionable judgment and understanding continue to debate the issue of abortion. Abortion involves the killing of a living developing unborn human baby. There is no reason to join activists wishing to avoid that fact for evil propagandist purposes.

Thete is no debate. Abortion is legal and will remain so
I agree, but it sure is interesting to see Biden winning Texas. That is an eye popper and eye poppers deserve to be talked about.
The election is still 17 months away, but things are very much looking up for Joe Biden and a handful of other Democrat candidates at this early juncture.
Even with the current strong economy, Trump is lagging significantly nationally. Biden is even beating Trump in red state Texas.
I still have Trump in the 45-50% range for winning re-election. The current state of polls means absolutely nothing to me.
PROS
High approval ratings among Republican voters
Strong/Positive Economy
CONS
Unpopularity
The Democrats hold the advantage when it comes to health-care
To dig deeper here, Presidents/incumbents generally win re-election with high support among their base. When you see a legitimate third party candidate emerging or a serious primary contender, the incumbent/President loses. Just look at George H.W Bush in 1992. When he broke his promise about no new taxes, he alienated his base and gave rise to Ross Perot. With Trump, he seems to be doing everything to please his base, besides promising that Mexico will pay for his wall. We will see if Bill Weld is an actual challenger for Trump. So far Weld is getting no more than 15% in the polls.
On the economic front, things are looking pretty good: Stock market up, GDP has skyrocketed since Trump took office, unemployment rate is at historic lows, poverty is declining, and the average American worker has experience their first pay raise this century. We can debate all day about who's responsible for the positive economic numbers, but at the end of the day, Trump will get credit for it. Historically, we do not change Presidents during a positive economic time period.
Both these elements work in favor of the President, and makes an easy favorite to win re-election.
But on the other hand, there's a lot of evidence to show he's a one-and-done type of President.
For starters, he's wildly unpopular. His approving ratings are in the 42-45% range, and his disapproval ratings are between 52 to 55%. We are basically talking about somebody who is registering at Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford numbers. In Trump's 2.5 years as President, he's never really went above 45% in the approval side on average, and never been under 50% on the disapproval side on average. That's how bad he is doing. It just so happens in 2016, he was up against a wildly unpopular opponent and banked off the fact that Clinton took the rust belt states for granted and paid little-to-no-attention. As a result, Trump just barely squeaked by in those states. If Clinton won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Penn, she would be President right now.
The second big negative for Trump is health-care. The GOP has yet to put forth a health-care people actually like. Public support for a public option or Medicare-For-All system is extremely high. Even half of Republicans support it. If the Democrats run on the platform of we can fix health-care and improve on ACA, it is going to be a winning issue.
