I thought abou that very possibility, as well. Monica is a word machine.. for all the right things.

I hope she did, but admit I was taken aback to read she did not. Supposedly not a single one. Hard to believe that’s accurate.

I presume you are being sarcastic or ignorant. Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty and totally discredits the plagiarist. If Crowley did, she is of no use to Trump, she's damaged goods. Liberals might try to pass it off but conservatives should cherish honesty, not succumb to circling the wagons and making excuses and exceptions.

And "go away"? I won't dignify that remark with a response.

[Reno89519]

Appreciate the attention to detail and reasoned comment. Thanks.

WTF. What else is Obama teleprompted and Hillary with a ear bud?

Both are known to have plagiarized in College, having books written by others in their names and repeating the mantra and strategies of foreign terrorists like robots.

[JudgemAll]

CNN is hardly research, it is part of the problem in plagiarism. When CNN ignores the vast plagiarism of Hillary and Obama, the scandal of Obama repeating like a robot material he never thought off a teleprompter, and the huge amount of material the media and the Obamas got written for them by foreign paper makers, one can only conclude that plagiarism affects such news companies as CNN and is a vast problem in a trolling liberal land.

Yes.

I don’t know whether this is over a line or not. Just saying these did not seem to be TOTALLY cribbed.

Probably depends in large part, on whether there was attribution for the material.

The lefties are simply losing it. I haven't felt this good about things since we beat leftist voter fraud in Florida in 2000.

[trebb]

When someone repeats what someone else repeated that someone else repeated, is it true plagiarism? Might as well make any joke or anecdote fall under that category - along with adages like “A stitch in time....” if someone else also “wrote it down”....

"= not plagiarism

If she did not provide attribution for the text in question, it sure it plagiarism.

[Fury]

The blame here is NOT on Monica. If there is, in fact, plagiarism issues, it’s all on the back of Harper Collins.

If an author is not properly sourcing or attributing text, that's on the author. That it got by Harper Collins is on them.

Will request the book on loan to see what the hubbub is about.

Anyone who writes for a living knows that plagiarizing the work of others is pretty much held on the same level as a war crime.

Hyperbole is on the same level as 2 war crimes.

[ChocChipCookie]

I’m a published author with Harper Collins and every quote in my book had to be properly cited. A manuscript goes through multiple editors and proofreaders, so, yes, if there is actual plagiarism, it’s on them for not including source references, if they were required.

[dubyagee]

Hypocrisy.

And I was speaking for myself.

[proud American in Canada]

I agree.

Did she use quotes and footnotes? Or other attribution?

Not plagiarism.

Hard to make a judgement without seeing the texts.

[proud American in Canada]

Well, those are just facts. That’s called research.

They are grasping at straws, it appears.

[supremedoctrine]

Actually, I was serious, and being very literal-—TWO casual posts of mine detailing the idea that Clinton was a kind of “reverse-Jesus”, and one about Bush and the 9-11 response in the weeks and months following the event, constituted way too much of a “coincidence”. Maybe I can find them to corroborate. They were in her BOOKS.

[supremedoctrine]

She also SLEPT with LBJ to get in good with him, while working on a book. These people are the worst kind of hacks.

Sincerest form of flattery!
