What seems odd about this is why, if the plagiarism was so extensive in a Ph. D. thesis, why the great scholars at Columbia who reviewed her work did not catch it. She would have lifted writings related to her thesis by writers who would not have been unknowns in her field of study.
But if this is true, she should probably be dropped from consideration by Trump.

The funny thing is that this is a 493 page thesis but a few paragraphs is a major part.
First, we need proof it is true.
Even with or without proof, I don't think it is THE reason Trump should drop her from consideration.
