Does this online tool display footnotes properly?
She may have actually cited the quotes and excerpts used in her thesis, which is entirely acceptable.

This looks like a service libraries have available via subscription. I got no results for Crowley or Monica on the basic site.
I think its a shame people are piling on without the facts on the say-so of the lame-stream media. I would prefer to have the facts first.
Plagarism is the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. If the thought or words are unique to someone else and you use them in a context where they are assumed to be yours that would fit the definition. If you are repeating what someone else’s phrases or speech and credit them either directly or by bibliography that would be SOP. To take a paragraph out of context without seeing how it was introduced or followed or without looking at footnotes/bibliography is not an adequate basis to judge whether plagiarism is involved.
When something is presented as “Muller said” it is already clear that you are referencing another individual’s words. If in the preceding section you have referenced a third party’s work referring to Muller it would be expected that this is another reference to the referenced work on Muller.
At this point I am not clear whether that is the case in the Crowley thesis. What is clear is that the MSM distorts, misquotes, selectively quotes & makes things up out of whole cloth so presumption of innocence to Monica Crowley while waiting for the facts.
