Monica Crowley. An actual Nixon follower. Trump personally recruited her for the National Security Council. High level security clearance. One of the most sensitive jobs in our government.
She was a liar and a cheater and worse may be a criminal.
She plagiarized huge sections of her doctoral thesis.
She plagiarized sections of her 2012 book.
Most importantly, while a vying for a position on the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, yes the NSC where Flynn was also at, while advising trump on national security matters, she was an unregistered foreign agent of a Ukrainian billionaire who is a friend of the Putin government.
So the question must be asked:
How many fucking foreign agents of a hostile power has trump employed in our national security apparatuses?!?

(60,010 posts)Trumps lawyer in Russia probe has clients with Kremlin ties
Marc E. Kasowitzs clients include Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who is close to President Vladimir Putin and has done business with Trumps former campaign manager. Kasowitz also represents Sberbank, Russias largest state-owned bank, U.S. court records show.
Kasowitz has represented one of Deripaskas companies for years in a civil lawsuit in New York and was scheduled to argue on the companys behalf May 25, two days after news broke that Trump had hired him, court records show. A different lawyer in Kasowitzs firm showed up in court instead, avoiding a scenario that would have highlighted Kasowitzs extensive work for high-profile Russian clients.

(129,543 posts)that declared Drumpf had no "business ties" with Russia!
[***<...>
The lawyers noted that their statement covers only the period dating back a decade, after their firm, Morgan Lewis & Bockius, began representing Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization. It leaves other questions unanswered, including whether Mr. Trump or his firms received Russian income or loans from entities registered elsewhere or whether he derived income from Russian-linked partnerships that file their own returns.
This is an artfully written letter, covering a limited time period, said David Cay Johnston, an expert on taxes and a former New York Times reporter who has written extensively about Mr. Trump. Much of what we need to know about Trump and Russian money and that includes money from Kazakhstan, Turkey and other places where Russian oligarchs operate involves transactions prior to 10 years ago.

[*** Donald Trump's tax law firm has 'deep' ties to Russia

The lawyers who wrote a letter saying President Trump had no significant business ties to Russia work for a law firm that has extensive ties to Russia and received a Russia Law Firm of the Year award in 2016.
Sheri Dillon and William Nelson, tax partners at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, which has served as tax counsel to Trump and the Trump Organization since 2005, wrote a letter in March released by the White House on Friday stating that a review of the last 10 years of Trumps tax returns do not reflect ties to Russia with a few exceptions.
In 2016, however, Chambers & Partners, a London-based legal research publication, named the firm Russia Law Firm of the Year at its annual awards dinner. The firm celebrated the prestigious honor in a press release on its website, noting that the award is the latest honor for the high-profile work performed by the lawyers in Morgan Lewis Moscow office.
According to the firms website, its Moscow office includes more than 40 lawyers and staff who are well known in the Russian market, and have a deep familiarity with the local legislation, practices, and key players. The firm boasts of being particularly adept at advising clients on sanction matters."
