[Mr. K]

Is this ACTUAL plagiarism plagiarism?

Or did she just fail to cite a source?

In other words, did she INTEND to pass-off someone else's writing as her own? Or in a document with many sources, did she miss one.

If this is true, why didn’t her thesis instructor catch it?

It looks like the real thing from what I’ve studied. Best she does something else. There’s enough “proof” that this could really hang over the administration.

Or in a document with many sources, did she miss one.

Actually it appears that she did cite her sources, but was not anal about it, relying on one footnote in a key place rather than mutlitiple footnotes to the same source in the same or adjacent paragraph

Plitico: Trump Pick Monica Crowley Plagiarized Parts of Her Ph.D. Dissertation

Examples from the article:

• Crowley, p. 359 (Here she cites Gaddis, but uses text from his book without offsetting in quotes) - but she states As Gaddis points out, the Johnson administration decided not to... [and she somewhat paraphrases what Gaddis pointed out so a quote would be, well, not a quote.
• Crowley, p. 24 (She footnotes Oye halfway through but does not put direct text from him in quotes)
• Crowley, p. 177 (Here she uses a quote from Gaddis at the end of a sentence that uses his direct words, without quoting him, in the first half) - but she does have a footnote at the end of the section - presumably to Gaddis.

I defended her strongly initially but the pattern of repeat plagiarism certainly looks deliberate - WSJ article, PhD dissertation, and her book being 3 known examples.

I just finished reading a book that was less than 300 pages long and the author went to extremes - the author credited over 500 sources-granted a few might be repetitious.

I don't think he will ever be accused of plagiarism. -Tom
