Rand Paul Uses Plagiarized Content Against Obama

Anthea Mitchell February 13, 2014


Rand Paul, a well-known Tea Party member and Republican senator from Kentucky, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against President Barack Obama and heads of government agencies connected with the National Security Agency’s publicized bulk collection program, seeking to have it declared unconstitutional. While not the sole lawsuit being filed on the issue, it is one of the more pulbic ones. This made what came next — his second plagiarization scandal in as many years — that much more unfortunate for the senator.


Paul’s lawyer, Ken Cuccinelli, worked with Bruce Fein, an ex-Reagan administration lawyer, in writing up the suit. Now, both Fein and his spokeswoman — a role filled by his ex-wife — are insisting that not only has Fein not been fully paid for his work but that the suit — filed under Cuccinelli’s name — has stolencredit for his work without giving proper recognition for his work and writing.

“I am aghast and shocked by Ken Cuccinelli’s behavior and his absolute knowledge that this entire complaint was the work product, intellectual property and legal genius of Bruce Fein. Ken Cuccinelli stole the suit,” said Mattie Fein, Fein’s spokeswoman, to the Washington Post. She also pointed out that Paul has “already had one plagiarism issue,” and “now has a lawyer who just takes another lawyer’s work product.”

Let me get this right . Ken Cuccinelli, worked with Bruce Fein and they co wrote the lawsuit.

But you're blaming Rand Paul? From the OP you progressive and smarmy assholes....

I'm going to embarrass the shit out of some people now.

From the very left wing Raw Story.

UPDATE: Bruce Fein came forward Thursday to dispute Milbank and the Post‘s version of events. MSNBC reported that Paul’s political action committee RANDPAC forwarded an email from Fein to journalists disavowing his ex-wife Mattie’s characterization of the situation.

“Mattie Lolavar was not speaking for me,” Fein wrote. “Her quotes were her own and did not represent my views. I was working on a legal team, and have been paid for my work.”

And you are correct for pointing that out. I went back and changed my blanket statement.

TY!

Now don't stroke out. I put up another thread and guess who else is rescinding their story?

MSNBC. I'm checking for pigs flying by my window.

A spokesperson for RANDPAC forwarded an email from Fein denying Mattie Fein’s allegations. “Mattie Lolavar was not speaking for me,” Fein said in the email. “Her quotes were her own and did not represent my views. I was working on a legal team, and have been paid for my work.” Bruce Fein confirmed to msnbc that the email was from him.

The Kentucky Senator has previously come under criticism for lifting work without attribution in op-eds, speeches, and even his book. But when it comes to his lawsuit against the NSA, the accusation appears to be without merit.

Interesting Bruce Fein's official spokesperson called it "stolen credit" then-----then the following day, Fein's office walks it back. Given Republican proclivity for quid pro quo (see Bridgegate, et al) makes me wonder what the quo is?

Fein is the one pointing out very clearly that her views were her own. Her quotes were her own.

So now back to back we have a bullshit story on Brevin from Politico and now this bullshit story.

Smear tactics. Very David Axelrod. Run with the smear headline. Apologize later. But the headline is then already out there for the left wing lunatics to spew their talking points time and time again on websites and in the media.

What is interesting this time is both Raw Story and MSNBC put up their updates immediately.

HOLY SMOKES, MSNBC?
I feel my blood pressure rising...

 

[Katzndogz]

Rand Paul is not a lawyer. He didn't write any complaint. He could not possibly have committed plagiarism.

 

[RoadVirus]

Rand Paul must be considered a political threat if a Left Wing rag is making shit up about him.

It's all they have left from their failures in power since '06.
