Ok for online commenting, but pros aren’t supposed to do it. There is a fine line between research and plagiarism, but it seems Crowley crossed it.
This is the kind of thing I don’t like about my beloved FR. When people excuse immoral or illegal behavior because it’s “one of ours.”
Crowley should apologize sincerely and recall her book or whatever. It doesn’t matter one whit that Hillary is a felonious lying criminal. That is a separate subject. She failed to be honest and that is something she needs to apologize for or she is not a good decent person no matter how smart she is or how much we agree with her. I’d be willing to forgive her.
