So sayeth the SCOTUS. Just friends doing favors for each other.Well we had some released documents about Gym Jordan being complicit in sexual abuse if not outright culpable for threats against kids that tried to speak out against abuse at Ohio State. If you can hold your nose for abetting sexual assault on kids you can sure as hell get away with casual bribery. It's barely a crime.
Looks like he has had some practice. Hope they get him this time.
