Republican strategist Monica Crowley, who backed out of a job on President Trumps 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. Its 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.

(5,611 posts)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.
