I'd forgotten about that. I hope that Clooney narrates, or has a hand in the writing, and brings his inner Michael Clayton to the script as a very thinly veiled message to GYM Jordan.

This is what I do, this is what happened, this is what is GOING to happen.

For sure Clooney will have cleared every claim made in the movie with lawyers in order to preclude any defamation charges. Because Michael Clayton would know enough to do that.

George Clooney and HBO are teaming up to tell the story of a decades-long abuse scandal at Ohio State University.

HBO has joined Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures, Sports Illustrated Studios and 101 Studios on the project, which will premiere on the premium cable outlet and stream on HBO Max. Oscar and Emmy winner Eva Orner (Taxi to the Dark Side, Out of Iraq) will direct.

Clooney and Heslov’s company announced the project in February 2021. At the time, they were planning a docuseries based on the scandal involving Richard Strauss, a former sports physician at Ohio State who’s accused of sexually abusing more than 300 athletes over decades of working at and with the university. The HBO project will be a feature-length documentary.

“Grant and I are very proud to be working on this project with HBO,” said Clooney in a statement. “It’s a devastating story about people in power abusing and then covering up their criminal actions against students. The fact that it hasn’t been resolved as of yet is deeply disturbing.”

Said Orner, “I’m honored to join this incredible creative team. This film is about the largest sexual abuse scandal in the history of American higher education. It will give the courageous men who were abused a powerful and clear voice.”

The untitled documentary is based on an October 2020 Sports Illustrated story by Jon Wertheim that detailed some of the many allegations against Strauss, including those made by former All-American wrestler and UFC champion Mark Coleman and other athletes, student trainers and employees at a private clinic Strauss headed.

Coleman also alleges that Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio State assistant wrestling coach for part of Strauss’ time at the university, knowingly ignored Strauss’ abuse.

“This story of power, abuse and enabling has been concealed for far too long,” said David Hutkin, COO of 101 Studios. “It is because of the courage of these men who have decided to finally speak out that we can finally hold the abusers accountable. We are honored to be able to provide a platform to amplify the voices of these victims.”

Clooney and Heslov are producing the documentary with David C. Glasser of 101 Studios, Orner and Steven J. Berger. The executive producers are Wertheim; Corey Salter, Colin Smeeton and Marc Rosen of Sports Illustrated Studios; and Hutkin, Ron Burkle and Bob Yari of 101 Studios.

We are going to witness a perfect example of how extremism destroys itself in the end.

People like Jim Jordan, McCarthy and others refused to answer a subpoena from the J6 committee. That means they are afraid, hiding something. They were a part of J6 in some way. They are compromised. They are weak. They are illegitimate.

Now, Jim Jordan is going to leading many of the investigations. He has the power to subpoena people. Jordan refuses to answer a legit subpoena and now he is going to subpoena people? Good fucking luck you traitor. The Democrats are going to tear their investigations to pieces.

The extremists, the traitors, are going to look like the fools they are.

5. Marjorie Traitor Greene was in office THREE DAYS and asked for a pardon.

I really, really want to know why she thought she needed one.

18. Not only extremism, but dishonesty and moral degeneracy too

We really don't have to worry about whomever they subpoena, because those people just need to answer the questions honestly and deny all the crackpot accusations.

Dems have nothing to hide. Dems didn't construct a gallows and beat the crap out of capitol police, or defecate in the halls of the capitol.


It's just a shame that for the next 2 years, they won't be interested in passing any legislation that benefits the American people. I guess the positive side is that the majority of voters will be disgusted and fed up with their stupid shit-show. What a waste of time.
