BREAKING: Monica Crowley Forgoes White House Position

Source: Mediaite


by Alex Griswold | 12:26 pm, January 16th, 2017

Following a major plagiarism scandal, former Fox News analyst Monica Crowley announced Monday she would not be taking a position as Donald Trump‘s foreign policy advisor.

“After much reflection I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities and will not be taking a position in the incoming administration,” she said in a statement to The Washington Times, which publishes her columns. “I greatly appreciate being asked to be part of President-elect Trump’s team and I will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda for American renewal.”

Crowley’s resignation comes after CNN discovered multiple instances of plagiarism in her 2012 book What the (Bleep) Just Happened? , leading publisher HarperCollins to pull all remaining copies. Further investigations turned up even more lifted passages in her Times column and her Columbia doctoral dissertation.

Well, at least the hostile, vile fox clone was exposed for the cheating plagiarist that she was. I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg with that snarky woman.

females literally don't even begin to compare to the real ones of some of the men. Fit ending for a would-be trumpster token.

That would make sense.

If sense can be made of the last year.

"The President has got to know if his appointees are crooks. Well, I am not a crook! Therefore I shall resign the Presidency, er, withdraw my name from consideration as Mr. Nixon's, er, Trump's foreign policy advisor."

She wrote a book about that time, which was in the very late 1980s/early 1990s. Can't say if it was good because I did not read much of it. She is very vicious to people like Obama and Kerry. She hated from her Nixon years - he is mentioned in her book because Nixon had to respond to questions asked by Kerry's Vietnam committee. I read that part of her book in 2004, when bored accompanying a high school daughter, who spent hours in the libraries of every college she was considering. I decided that an interesting way to see our nominee was to look in indexes of books written about politicians/leaders since the 1970s and read passages about him in books focused on someone else. This book however shed more light on Nixon and Crowley although he did not force the ex President to appear before the committee, but opted to allow him to respond in writing. They were livid he got to ask questions - ignoring that former prosecutor Kerry could have grilled him in person.) I am thrilled that she is not labeled as guilty of plagiarism.

She figured she probably wasn't anymore crooked than the rest of the gang but I'm betting Cheeto gave her walking papers.
