Considering that some people believe that Meredith McIverdoes not exist, this might be the case. Create a fake speech writer, to protect the real speech writer.

I developed a conspiracy theory after reading Schwartz’ piece about ghostwriting The Art of the Deal last night. It was amazing and rather terrifying. It was released the same day as Melania’s speech. I think Melania took the fall, knowingly or not, so the piece would get buried under a sea of plagiarism accusations.…

Again you nailed it. Had this really happened the way Trump claimed it did, he would have curried sympathy from voters for having his wife sabatoged and made it look like the Democrat party was somehow involved. That is exactly how he would have spun it, on every network, in every language, at every opportunity and…

Meredith McIver screwed it up again.

So when they maintain that she “was a volunteer,” which is the lie now? That statement, or the VERY FIRST line in the letter on freaking Trump Organization letterhead?

Nice title!

That’s cold. Considering he was reading from a teleprompter - will this be the speechwriter’s fault?

Which is why it’s clear this was Kushner’s doing. Trump is a guy who comes unglued about every perceived slight imaginable and does not forgive anything. Not a damn chance he would be so benevolent with a speech writer and keep her employed. The whole world would have known her name, address, phone number and her…

Nailed it. It was Kushner. There is no way he would keep a professional speech writer on his payroll after a fuck up as embarrassing as this. None. “We all make mistakes” after the excuse given of a draft being turned in is absurd. If this woman was really the cause of the plagiarism, Trump would have been on every…

Yup. “Wasn’t Melania and Ivanka aaaammmaaazzziiinnnggg?!”

If in 2012 Michelle Obama had stolen a speech from Laura Bush, Jason Chaffetz would have convened his oversight committee to investigate this, 7 times.

I look forward to her tell all memoir in the future.

And that when the quote, that just happened to be a personal anecdote, was read to me, I deconstructed into the points that Melania wanted, then, after looking at the speech as a whole, I decided that the most effective way to express those points was to fabricate it as a personal anecdote for Melania which…

Also, shouldn’t there be a legal question even if she is a volunteer? She gets her paycheck from Trump’s Corporation and he’s famous for firing people, so she might feel coerced.

I’m disapointed that so many in the media seem to be buying the whole “Melania quoted Michelle (WHO SHE LOVES) over the phone to me and I wrote it down WORD FOR PERFECT WORD and then included it in a DRAFT!” excuse.

His campaign is literally clown shoes.

If she didn’t want people poking into her business, she wouldn’t put herself on the news. Kind of hard to demand privacy while asking if the camera has got your good side.

Bullshit. People were all over Kate what’s-her-face and the Duggars.

Clearly you don’t read the Duggar coverage on this blog.
