Attorney General William Barr on Democrats' partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump: The articles of impeachment here do not allege a violation of law ... Im concerned about it being trivialized and used as a political tool.
So, how is Mr. NIKK doing?
“Treasury Department Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Monica Crowley has been vindicated by Columbia University after a years-long investigation ultimately concluded she did not plagiarize her thesis, despite allegations by CNN and other establishment media outlets that she did.
Crowley, now the Treasury Departments top spokeswoman but previously a Fox News contributor, had been under consideration to join the National Security Council (NSC) in the White House at the very beginning of President Donald Trumps administration under his first national security adviser, retired Gen. Mike Flynn. Then, allegations from CNN and Politico, among other publications, claimed that she plagiarized her 2012 book and her thesis at Columbia, sparking Columbia to launch a review of her thesis that has now concluded.
The review found Crowley did not commit research misconduct, and sources familiar with the investigation added that the university is not disciplining her in any way. The university also, the source familiar with the details of the investigation told Breitbart News, found no research misconduct by Crowley. She encourages the public to read her PhD dissertationwhich is about U.S.-China relationsbecause it is a clearly newsworthy topic and added she is proud of her work.
After CNN and other news outlets falsified my PhD dissertation by omitting nearly 40 footnotes, Columbia University began a process to review the work, Crowley told Breitbart News on Friday afternoon. I am delighted that they have concluded that there was no research misconduct, as I have maintained all along. I was also happy to address any inadvertent and honest errors and update the work. I am extremely proud of the dissertation, particularly given the fresh timeliness of its subjectthe U.S.-China relationshipand hope that others will read and appreciate it.
A source familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that the universitys use of the word plagiarism in its statement is a purely academic definition, and not the widely accepted use of the term.
In 2017, concerns were raised about potential plagiarism in this dissertation, Columbia University intends to state publicly about the review. Columbia University conducted a formal research misconduct investigation into the allegations, in accordance with its Institutional Policy on Misconduct in Research. The investigation was completed in 2019. The investigation identified localized instances of plagiarism, but concluded that the preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that Dr. Crowley committed research misconduct. For the dissertation to stand, the University required certain corrections, which Dr. Crowley has provided.
In other words, the review did find she could have sourced a few things slightly more, and she has offered to make additional annotationsan offer the university has accepted, sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.
Theyve accepted her offer to revise the dissertation with additional annotations, a source with direct knowledge of the investigations details said. The University has accepted that and concluded their investigation.
Overall, the attacks from the establishment mediain particular CNNs Andrew Kaczynski and a separate Politico piecewhich claimed she engaged in wide-scale plagiarism were deemed untrue by the Columbia University review. A source familiar with the investigation added that it seems as though the political biases of those in media behind these smears of Crowley were a driving motivator of the attacks against her.
This all started because this CNN guy had an axe to grind against Trump and anybody affiliated with Trump, the source, who is familiar with the details of the investigation, added. At the time, Monica was being considered to be Flynns deputy at the NSC. Kaczynski went after Monica because she was an easy target and had a paper trail. Once it went into the news, Columbia had to do an inquiry. They did an inquiry and appointed a committee. Universities are like molasses, they take an enormous amount of time to do anything. This took a long time to do anything. At the end of the day, she was vindicatedthere were some footnotes she could have done better, but these corrections are minor.
A Trump administration official added that the media and American political left have shown their true colors throughout the administrations tenure but that Crowley was patient zero in fake news attacks on Trump administration officials.
Monica was patient zero in the ongoing war between the president and those on the left and in the media that wish to impede his agenda by any means necessary, the administration official said. Nothing is beneath these people and their derangement is so extreme that I expect theyll be going through Monicas trash next. I am beyond thrilled to see Monica vindicated by this review, and I look forward to watching as she continues to communicate the presidents outstanding economic agenda. Shes a fighter who will continue to fight on behalf of this president against the Fake News media, as well as in the best interests of the American people.
Two former Trump White House officials added that the fake news media should be ashamed of themselves.
The media and enemies of President Trump simply cannot stand a strong woman serving in the Administration, so they peddle fictitious allegations and outright lies with no regard for what is actually true, one former White House official said. Monica is a world class talent that serves her country well. We need more people like her, not less.
Monica is a driven and intelligent public servant whose name was senselessly under attack from day one of the administration, a second former Trump White House official added. This proves that shes an effective messenger who poses a threat to the totally unhinged left who will stop at nothing to tarnish the name of anyone associated with the president. Im glad that justice has prevailed as this marks another blow to the heart of the left and its manufactured resistance.

#BIG Italian prosecutors believe that Joseph Mifsud the man who started RussiaGate, 'is Dead'
Italian Journalists Roberto Vivaldelli one & Mauro Indelicato shed light and deepen the mystery behind Mifsud. I spoke to Vivaldelli and ... https://t.co/dOvgHa5R5r via @SaraCarterDC— Sara A. Carter (@SaraCarterDC) December 20, 2019
Best. Economy. Ever.
Mifsud is dead!
Mifsud wasnt his real name. So is Mifsud really dead and the person who played that role alive or is the actor dead also?
Does anyone know if Pelosi has been using the USAF C-32, Boeing 757 airplane to jet back and forth to San Francisco every week as she did when she was Speaker back in the Obama days?
It was reported that as Speaker of the House she arranged her schedule so her usual work week in Washington was 3 days then she jumped on the jet to La-La Land for the weekend.
The trips in the USAF Boeing 757 cost taxpayers about $60,000 each way.
Of course when she has a hot iron in the fire - like churning up a false impeachment of president Trump- she stays on the job a little longer.
If she is once again using the USAF Boeing 757 for her weekend jaunts I would like to see president Trump put a screeching halt to it immediately.
After all, it's not as if they have an amicable working relationship
She has trashed him and stabbed him in the back every day since she became Speaker this time around.
If she is using the 757 the president should stop the abuse and recall the airplane as soon as it drops her off in San Francisco the next time.
Let her find her own way back to DC and tell her "When you mess with the bull you get the horn!"
QUEEN PELOSI'S OBAMA ERA BOEING 757
We are finally home.
I’m just checking in.
Short story, no blockage but are still looking at some other things to explain hubby’s symptoms.
Will be doing follow up with specialist in a couple of weeks even tho hubby says no, he is done with hospitals, REALLY?!!!!
Really appreciate all your prayers, I know they helped.
When we called hubby’s brother last night he told us he had to take his wife to ER that afternoon with chest pains.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
It seems like an epidemic.
We stopped in Globe to visit her in the hospital, she is going through all the same tests and had just had a stress test.
Haven’t heard anything yet as to whether they found something.
She has been a smoker for years, not good.
NIKK, I’m praying for your hubby and you.
Hope he is doing better.
I pray for @realDonaldTrump every single day!
Why? Because in this world there are evil forces trying to destroy the good. Jesus has the victory and Donald Trump is a True Man of God! #FridayMotivation pic.twitter.com/r4HdR7Vuzx— Evangelist Alveda King (@AlvedaCKing) December 20, 2019
