    Kam's plagerism problem
    Twice in the last few weeks Kam the Shamhas been accused of plagiarism

    First she was accused of lifting dozens of passages for the book that launched her political career ;'Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer'. She was even accused of lifting passages from Wikipedia.

    She not only assumes the online encyclopedia’s accuracy, but copies its language nearly verbatim, without citing the source.
    Kamala Harris’s Plagiarism Problem - by Christopher F. Rufo

    The Slimes was quick to come to her defense accusing the person who exposed it Christopher Rufo as a " conservative activist "and basically saying that her plagiarism aint no biggie .

    In a review of the book, The New York Times found that none of the passages in question took the ideas or thoughts of another writer, which is considered the most serious form of plagiarism. Instead, the sentences copy descriptions of programs or statistical information that appear elsewhere......

    Jonathan Bailey, a plagiarism consultant in New Orleans and the publisher of Plagiarism Today, said on Monday that his initial reaction to Mr. Rufo’s claims was that the errors were not serious, given the size of the document.
    “This amount of plagiarism amounts to an error and not an intent to defraud,” he said, adding that Mr. Rufo had taken relatively minor citation mistakes in a large amount of text and tried to “make a big deal of it.”

    Let's take the Slimes at it's word ;that this was a one off incidental .

    Yesterday new accusations emerged .

    She is accused of lifting passages for her 2012 report on human trafficking in California .

    The State of Human Trafficking in California 2012



    She is accused of citing a fictional example of the type of call received by the National Human Trafficking Hotline .

    Sex Trafficking | Pimp-Controlled Prostitution | Polaris Project | Combating Human Trafficking and Modern-day Slavery

    She kept the name of the victim and moved the case from DC to California .
    The new allegations again claim she lifted passages from Wiki without citation.

    The NY Post's story suggests a pattern of plagiarism by Kam.

    Kamala Harris accused of plagiarism again — this time for fabricating a sex crime and cheating off a former AG's note

    Maybe that is the real reason Clueless Joe picked her for Veep. He dropped out of the 1988 campaign for President after his plagiarisms were revealed .
