Notes on the ongoing death of satire:

Rep. Jim Jordan (R–Ohio) has cited Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with the Department of Justice as apparent exculpatory evidence regarding President Donald Trump’s alleged association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During an appearance on “The Big Weekend Show” on Fox News on Saturday, Jordan referenced Maxwell’s statement that she “never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way” to argue that there is “nothing there” implicating Trump.

Jordan commented, “This confirms what we all knew,” adding, “We knew President Trump didn’t do anything wrong here … this transcript is the whole transcript and it confirms that.”

He concluded: “So I think there’s nothing there, it seems, based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.”

Look, if the most prominent facilitator and frequent active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s serial rape of children doesn’t see anything wrong with Donald Trump’s behavior while trying to get Trump to pardon her, I think we have no choice but to say “case closed.”

Anyway, you might be interested in what to stream this week. Apropos of nothing, here’s a review of the excellent if infuriating and harrowing recently released HBOMax documentary Surviving Ohio State:

The film examines the forces that allowed this abuse. Chief among them was the imbalance of power between Strauss and his victims. Strauss controlled their medical clearance, which meant athletes had to see him to compete.

Strauss, who was never charged with a crime, denied the allegations that were made during his time at Ohio State. He committed suicide in 2005 at 67.

“It was classic predator behavior,” Orner told The Athletic. “If (the victims) did anything, they would have lost everything — and a lot of them did lose everything. A lot of them dropped out of college. A lot of them quit the team. Their whole life trajectory was changed.”

In examining the culture at Ohio State that allowed Strauss’ abuse to continue for two decades, the film turned to the coaches of the victims, investigating what they knew and how they responded. The biggest name publicly associated with this story is Jim Jordan, a former assistant wrestling coach who is now a Republican congressman from Ohio.

At least seven victims, including some who hadn’t spoken publicly until appearing in the documentary, have claimed Jordan knew of the abuse during his time at Ohio State.
