Crowley Claims Plagiarism Charges Were a Hit Job

https://politicalwire.com/2017/03/08/crowley-claims-plagiarism-charges-hit-job/

"SNIP..........

Republican strategist Monica Crowley, who backed out of a job on President Trump’s national security team after multiple plagiarism charges surfaced, told Fox News that the scandal was a “political hit job.”

Said Crowley: “What happened to me is a despicable straight-up political hit job. It’s been debunked, my editor has completely supported me and backed me up.”

Crowley claimed that there is a “destabilization campaign” underway against Trump by people “who want to see him in prison.”

She added: “In some ways, I was something of the canary in the coal mine. The attack on me was a test. What happened to me, what happened to General Flynn, what has happened to Attorney General Sessions and others is all of a piece.”

directly lifted from the sources. It's up on various websites, with side-by-side comparisons. We are NOT talking about a few "mistakes." As an academic, that shit makes me cringe because I know how very careful ethical academics try to be when citing sources.

Crowley wasn't making small mistakes such as forgetting to complete a quotation properly or even paraphrasing a source poorly. We are talking lots of lengthy lifted passages in her dissertation and in her book -- that wasn't any accident. And it was someone else's research, not hers. Of course she is such a lame-ass she'd try to argue that it was a "hit job." Columbia should revoke her degree by the way.

The part Monica doesn't mention is that all three of them DID SOMETHING WRONG.
