Rand Paul caught scrubbing transcripts from website after plagiarism charges

[Botany]

20. ATTN Rand Paul ... you do not footnote speeches

If in the course of giving a speech one can attribute another person's work and
or words so as to give the person who did the work credit for said work but you
can't give footnotes ..... now if you have a transcript of that speech you can have
it with footnotes but then you must also attribute the author of the work when you
are giving the speech too.

Attribution is for when you are speaking and footnotes are for when you are writing.


“I will admit, sometimes we haven’t footnoted things properly,” the Kentucky Republican said.
“I’ve written scientific papers. I know how to footnote things. But we’ve never footnoted speeches.
And if that’s the standard I’m going to be held to, yes, we will change and we will footnote things.”
