I see it's dump on the wife tonight.

99. Agree. Fwiw, Joe Scarborough said 3 sources told

him that a staffer was assigned to every member of the family. Melania was the most important, so Campaign Manager Manifort was assigned to her, and he had an assistant. Regardless of who wrote the speech, Manifort's official duty was to vet every single word and make sure this simply could not happen.

If no one's fired, it may be because the guilty person is not firable. Trump himself has boasted that he was reviewing his wife's speech even though she was very intelligent, etc., and he's easily clueless enough not to realize that plagiarism is picked up in moments these days. She claimed she wrote it and could also conceivably be too ignorant to realize.

In any case that it was a Democratic first lady whose words were plagiarized is pretty funny. For someone who's been inadvertently involved in the nastiness that was last night's convention, Michelle is being shown off pretty nicely. Bet her mouth fell open last night while listening. She's probably also among those with genuine sympathy for what Melania's moment of glory turned into. Never been there or done that, but...
