Trump's National Security Spokesperson Caught for Large-Scale Plagiarism

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, 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.

Scrolling the complete list of discovered plagiarism at the bottom of the article, it's hard to imagine she's ever had an original thought. Between Breitbart Editor Bannon, fake news fan/distributor Flynn and plagiarist Crowley, Trump has sure surrounded himself with some massive assclowns to develop national security policy. I thought he was going to hire the best.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to attempt to ramrod his cabinet appointees through the Senate before vetting is complete. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Refuses to act Presidential, refuses traditions of the office, who is above the laws of the land, and hides everything personal out of fear the public will find out he truth.

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of fraud. (FIFY)

Trump appointee has no original ideas, and no morals. Just what is wanted at the highest level of government.

I get so tired of the argument that because they behave badly, you can be excused for behaving badly too.

It's a small child's argument and I hear it so often from the right.
