CNN: Trump national security pick Monica Crowley plagiarized multiple sources in 2012 book



Conservative author and television personality Monica Crowley, whom Donald Trump has tapped for a top national security communications role, plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book, a CNN KFile review has found.

The review of Crowley’s June 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened," found upwards of 50 examples of plagiarism from numerous sources, including the copying with minor changes of news articles, other columnists, think tanks, and Wikipedia. The New York Times bestseller, published by the HarperCollins imprint Broadside Books, contains no notes or bibliography.

Crowley did not return a request for comment. Multiple requests for comment by phone and email over the past two days to HarperCollins went unreturned.

Crowley, a syndicated radio host, columnist, and, until recently, a Fox News contributor, will serve as Trump’s senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council.

A serious national security person writes a book that is dull and meant for that community. It has their philosophy or vision. If they are writing such a book they don't have the security clearances that could be compromised. These are money makers and, if they are highly regarded in the community (which she isn't) , are meant for legacy or speaking engagements.

Al Franken* wrote several funny titles books when he has a COMEDIAN but he never used or implied a curse word in the title.

This person,Monica Crowley, is not a serious person. She has no reason to even be considered.

* I would highly suggest "The Truth with Jokes". Thankyou SENATOR ALL FRANKEN!
