Plagiargate – Whodunit?

[CajunBlazer]

8. The latest that a Trump employee has come forth and fallen on her sword

As best I understand it this employee was helping Melanie with the speech and provided Melania with talking points including what phrases had been used in other similar situations. Supposedly the employee supplied the (plagiarized) section from Michelle's speech with out telling Melania where it came from. [If you believe the underline words, I (literally) have some swamp land in Louisiana to sell you.]

Melania then used the (plagiarized) phrases in the speech and the employee says she didn't catch it on the final draft.

All of this was described in a letter of resignation from the employee to Trump which the Trump campaign has published. Trump rejected the letter of resignation, so again no one was fired, because he says, "honest mistakes happen". (I assume the employee will be eventually richly rewarded sometimes in the future for getting Melania off of the hook and explaining this as an "innocent mistake"

Now maybe you believe this entire story, I don't, but at least Trump and his campaign now realizes that they can't bulldoze their way through every Trump (or Trump family) caused crisis by lying by saying it didn't happen and hoping people will forget about it.
