Trumps Speech Scrubbed for Potential Problemshttps://politicalwire.com/2016/07/21/trumps-speech-scrubbed-for-potential-problems/
"SNIP.............
New York Times: By Tuesday morning, word had spread throughout his campaign that any language in Mr. Trumps address even loosely inspired by speeches, essays, books or Twitter posts had to be either rewritten or attributed.
Mr. Trumps chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller, reassured colleagues that the acceptance speech was wholly original, according to two staff members who spoke with him and described those conversations on the condition of anonymity. Mr. Miller also told campaign aides that he had looked closely at passages that Mr. Trump had contributed handwritten on unlined white pages and was confident they contained no problems. Even so, one of the staff members downloaded plagiarism-detection software and ran a draft of the speech through the program. No red flags came up.
The intense scrutiny of Mr. Trumps words added new pressure to a speechwriting process that has been one of the most unpredictable and free-form in modern presidential campaigns.

(51,129 posts)This isn't a string operation, it is a bunch of flunkies without organization.
The chronology:
1.) Melania gives plagiarized speech,
2.) Melania lies and says she wrote it to defend,
3.) McIver says she wrote it, thus calling Melania a liar,
4.) McIver's letter on Trump stationary reveals criminal conduct.
That's sooooo worse than third string .... that's delete the email system hour.
