Just ask Perkins Coie.
Perkins Coie knows all about the tricks of the trade when it comes to generating propaganda to cover up the screams in child welfare by fighting for foster families...and not the kids.
And for those of you who think I am being crass when attacking Perkins Coie when it comes to working proactively with Ohio State University in preparations to mitigate legal damages in the upcoming settlement talks, like MSU, allow me to remind you, I live with the screams of children, fighting to be saved from foster care and adoption, as I have so fondly renamed the entire industry as the Trafficking of Tiny Humans, a residual of the peculiar institution.
Perkins Coie also has a reputation for interfering in elections which is why I am going to take this Ohio State University investigation of ignoring students in an entirely different direction.
Bob Goodlatte has announced that he is retiring from congress making the Chairmanship for the U.S. House Judiciary for the Republicans to be Jim Jordan.
Perkins Coie assisted in the removal of John Conyers, Jr. from congress, making his Ranking Member seat open for Jerrold Nadler.
But, here is the problem for the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) over there at Perkins Coie.
What if, just what if, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee is so infested by the dumpster juices of "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) of Perkins Coie, that it is impossible to hold impeachment hearings, due to all the corruption, all up there in the bowels of the committee, led by someone who calls Ohio their home?
That would mean....dare I say...that my dream is going to come true!
Until the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) can demonstrate honor to the people, and stand up to expose their role in the trafficking of tiny humans, I will continue to castigate until I get to go back down to the Schelt and ein maatjes broodschapt mit mijn Zoetje share.
Let us see how long it is going to take Perkins Coie, "Legal Genuises" (trademark pending) to let us know who is paying for this and who initiated the probe.
Smells like an intelligence gathering operation.
We no longer use the term "spying", the term is just so gauche', now-a-days.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — More than 100 former students have provided firsthand accounts of sexual misconduct by the now-dead Ohio State University team physician at the center of an ongoing investigation, the university said on Friday.
Over 200 former students and university employees have been confidentially interviewed by independent investigators reviewing allegations against Richard Strauss involving male athletes from 14 sports as well as his work at the student health center and his off-campus medical office, University President Michael Drake said. Those allegations range from 1979 to 1997, during most of Strauss' two decades on the faculty and medical staff.
"We are grateful to those who have come forward and remain deeply concerned for anyone who may have been affected by Dr. Strauss' actions," Drake said. "We remain steadfastly committed to uncovering the truth."
Ohio State has urged anyone with information to contact the Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie's investigators, who are looking into the allegations, what university officials knew and how they responded to any concerns about Strauss. They also are reviewing whether Strauss examined high school students.
The university announced the investigation in April after allegations about Strauss were brought forward this year.
The school said investigators are accepting anonymous reports and noted that they aren't proactively reaching out to potential victims because they want to avoid re-traumatizing anyone who doesn't want to revisit such an experience.
The university said investigators plan 100 or more additional interviews. Those who say they've been interviewed include wrestlers who say they were groped during physicals and a former student who says he witnessed and experienced sexual abuse in one day while working at Strauss' off-campus medical office in the mid-1990s.
Also interviewed was Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, who denies some wrestlers' claims that he knew about abuse when he was an assistant coach at Ohio State from 1987 to 1995.
The head coach back then, Russ Hellickson, similarly has said he would have reported any abuse if he had been aware of it.
Former athletes say they verbally raised concerns about Strauss as early as the late 1970s.
His employment records released by the university referenced no reprimands or disciplinary action over any such concerns, but Ohio State has a record of at least one documented complaint against Strauss. Paperwork from 1995 shows a then-director of the student health center said a student's complaint about being inappropriately touched by Strauss during an exam was the first such complaint he'd received.
The documentation that ex-student Steve Snyder-Hill obtained from Ohio State this week shows he complained about Strauss by phone — not by letter, as he'd recalled — and heard back from the director, Ted Grace. Snyder-Hill said he was told that Strauss denied his allegations.
"I want to assure you that we had never received a complaint about Dr. Strauss before, although we have had several positive comments," Grace's letter said.
Grace now leads student health services at Southern Illinois University. He declined to comment through a spokeswoman there.
Strauss killed himself in 2005. His relatives have said they were shocked by sexual abuse allegations against him.
Strauss' personnel file at Ohio State indicates he previously did research, taught or practiced medicine at Harvard University, Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington and the University of Hawaii. Most of those institutions say they have little record of Strauss, and none has said any concerns were raised about him.
