So Monica Crowley who lost her White House job because she of plagiarism practically everything

Last edited Thu Mar 23, 2017, 03:51 AM - Edit history (1)

she ever wrote is now the latest foreign agent associated with the GOR Trumpets.

If not for plagiarism, Donald Trump might have had two foreign agents on his National Security Council. Trump announced in January that he was appointing Fox News pundit Monica Crowley as a deputy to National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. But then it was quickly revealed that much of Crowley’s most recent book had been plagiarized, so she wasn’t hired. But days after Flynn registered as a foreign agent, Crowley has now done the same.

Flynn was forced to resign in February after it was revealed that he had been in regular secret communication with the Russian Ambassador before and after the election and lied about it. Last week he registered with the U.S. government as a foreign agent of Turkey, belatedly admitting that he had been indirectly on another nation’s payroll at the time he was working as a Donald Trump campaign adviser. Monica Crowley has now registered as a foreign agent herself today, but her choice of new foreign employer is even more eyebrow raising.

According to her official filing on the U.S. government website, Monica Crowley will now be acting as a foreign agent of Viktor Pinchuk, a businessman in Ukraine. If you take a look at Pinchuk’s recent history you’ll find that he’s been a leading voice in his nation for essentially handing things over to Russia and the Kremlin (source: Wall Street Journal). This is remarkable, considering the controversy now surrounding Donald Trump over his decision to remove a pro-Ukraine plank from the Republican Party platform at the Kremlin’s urging, even as the Kremlin was rigging the election for him – and then he nearly hired Crowley, who now officially works for a pro-Kremlin political figure.

One thing to note here is that while Michael Flynn is retroactively filing as a foreign agent for money he now admits he took during the campaign, Monica Crowley’s filing indicates that her work as a paid foreign agent is just beginning now. There is not yet any evidence that Crowley was on the pro-Kremlin payroll at the time Donald Trump tried to hire her – but if any such evidence is out there, we’ll find it.

She had over 40 instances in her PH'd dissertation which really is the most serious dissertation you can make.

she then went on with more than 50 instances in her book.

2. Thanks for speaking up on the plagiarism issue

It really should not be tolerated -- it's theft of someone else's work, and a lie about one's own. Especially when handing in a PhD dissertation, it degrades the entire enterprise for everyone else seeking that level of degree.

Trust me, I'm a doctor(ate).

4. People have no idea how gruelling most PhDs are. I equate it to stolen valor, stolen acumen.

5. all the lists and letters full of "names" Republicans sent & promoted to Trump are suspect

IMO, all those lists are evidence. The letter with the list of Generals Trump bragged about & The list of Supreme Court nominees Trump waved around in his campaign.

Every one of those suggested names needs investigation, questioning "on the record".
