Monica Crowley, President-elect Trump's pick for senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, appears to have plagiarized numerous sections of her Ph.D. thesis, according to investigations by CNN and Politico.
Politico, in a report published Monday, identified more than a dozen instances of plagiarism in Crowley's Columbia University thesis, "Clearer Than Truth: The Evolution of American Policy Toward the Peoples Republic of China Under Truman and Nixon."
On Thursday, CNN's KFile followed up on Politico's report, revealing 40 additional instances of plagiarism in Crowley's thesis, which was submitted in 2000. Her dissertation apparently lifted from scholarly works, the Associated Press, and former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.
Crowley has not responded to requests for comment about the newest investigations into her thesis. She came under fire earlier this week after CNN's KFile revealed she had apparently plagiarized at least 50 sections of her 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened?"
This is what it says on page 168 of Crowley's Ph.D. thesis, which can be accessed via the academic database ProQuest:
Mueller found a "rally in support at the beginning of the war and high levels of public support into 1966. By mid-1966, however, support had declined in the wake of such events as infighting among the South Vietnamese and the emergence of vocal criticism of the war during the Fulbright hearings in early 1966. By this time, the public had also come to see that the war would not be over quickly but was instead likely to be a long, bloody affair.
The material was copied verbatim from Eric V. Larson's "Casualties and Consensus: The Historical Role of Casualties in Domestic Support for U.S. Military Operations," according to CNN:

Plagiarism is just laziness. All you have to do is paraphrase and footnote.
It is really just lazy to plagiarize when you could just rephrase the quote and then drop a footnote.
CNN and Politico
The 2 most trusted sources in news.
/s
Trump picked her, then I am good with her. The fake news people can gft.
Martin Luther King plagiarized most of his doctoral dissertation, and he has a Federal holiday in his honor.
When nominated to these positions, you go through a rectal exam that catches everything. Why would she open herself up to this stuff?
I noticed she retained quotes within her quotes, which indicates to me she probably cited them in APA format as an indirect source, for example: Kissenger stated that “blah blah” ... (as cited in Johnson, 1982, p. 102) . Not a good way to get a top grade, as they would rather you use the direct source, and not too many of them, but still allowed.
Not everyone uses footnotes. A bibliography is an acceptable method especially for research since research IS
dependent on previous research.
I have asked people when Barry Soetoro >>>legally<<< changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama.
No one seems to know the answer. Did it ever happen?
There used to be a video that stated when he would get his law license, they would have asked him if he was ever known by any other name. Supposedly he’s on record as replying “No”.
Perhaps others can elucidate regarding these matters.
She wrote the thesis 16 years ago, and they are just discovering this NOW??
SCOTUS - Kagan plagiarized as well.
When has anybody seen ANY of Obama’s college writings?
How many communists did he quote?
Another way to characterize “plagiarized” is to say it was inadequately footnoted.
Who cares?
Wonder if Politico submitted the story for Trump’s approval, the way they did their stories about Hellary?
Why is she plagiarizing? I don’t understand why she would do that if she went to Columbia and was getting her Phd.
Nit picking phonies. Nothing but oversight if even that.
WHY THE HELL DIDN’T they fly-speck the OBAMA’s theses???
They were FAR higher up the food chain than Crowley.
Maybe its because they COULDN’T EVEN FIND THEM!
As we say in the neighbor “CNN and Policrow, GET BENT”.
This is just a SAMPLE of what Trump will be facing from a nearly united, hostile MARXIST media for the next 4 to 8 years.
He needs to find some way to totally destroy them by destroying their credibility - which they have been doing pretty well on their own so far.
She’s guilty of plagiarizing - her own work?
Whut?
Is she going to sue herself?
Still waiting on the results of Obama’s stolen SS# accusations.
And the Birth Certificate...
And the College Transcripts...
And so much more...
Nope. Monica Crowley is the beautiful blonde with the great brain.
Candy Crowley is the beast with the big mouth.
I followed the links the first time I read about Crowley’s plagiarism. She lifted passages and unique phrases. You don’t get to do that.
I really enjoy her on tv. But I know what plagiarism is. I don’t excuse people just because they are on “our side.” She knows she didn’t choose correctly.
