I think this time his people just cut and pasted parts of the green deal without attribution, so it’s not the same as the last time.

But when you are the leader you are responsible.

If he has people this incompetent then would anyone want them running the country?

Juan Williams' Plagiarism Problem

( https://www.salon.com/2013/03/08/juan_williams_column_cribs_from_think_tank_report/ )

EXCLUSIVE: Fox News pundit blames researcher for word-for-word similarities. "Unacceptable," says editor

In a case of apparent plagiarism, Fox News pundit Juan Williams lifted -- sometimes word for word -- from a Center for American Progress report, without ever attributing the information, for a column he wrote last month for the Hill newspaper. Almost two weeks after publication, the column was quietly revised online, with many of the sections rewritten or put in quotation marks, and this time citing the CAP report. It also included an editor's note that read: “This column was revised on March 2, 2013, to include previously-omitted attribution to the Center for American Progress.”

But that editor’s note mentions only the attribution problem, and not the nearly identical wording that was also fixed.

In a phone interview Thursday evening, Williams pinned the blame on a researcher who he described as a "young man."

"I was writing a column about the immigration debate and had my researcher look around to see what data existed to pump up this argument and he sent back what I thought were his words and summaries of the data," Williams told Salon. "I had never seen the CAP report myself, so I didn't know that the young man had in fact not summarized the data but had taken some of the language from the CAP report."

It seems Juan pulled “a Biden” ………… just as Biden recently blamed staffers for his latest plagiarism.

By the way IS JUAN WILLIAMS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES?

I’ve read a great deal on this guy (born of two Panamanian parents), yet never in the records and stories have I EVER SEEN ANYTHING about him going through the process to become a citizen.

On the net his “nationality” is always said to be “American”, but has he ever become an actual citizen?
