In 1988, a youthful Joe Biden dropped his first bid for the White House after being caught plagiarizing parts of his campaign stump rhetoric. It was a blow that took him more than 30 years to recalibrate. Now, VP Kamala Harris has been credibly accused of plagiarism of a far more serious variety. And while it is unlikely that history will repeat itself, the echoes of the past and the obvious concordance may add weight to an already burdened run for the presidency...

A new report by Austrian “plagiarism hunter” Stefan Weber and senior fellow Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research claims that Harris and her co-author, Joan O’C. Hamilton, lifted large passages of the book “verbatim” from “uncited” sources.

The researchers cite more than a dozen instances where text was copied word-for-word without any acknowledgment of the original authors....

“High Point had its first face-to-face meeting with drug dealers, from the city’s West End neighborhood, on May 18, 2004. The drug market shut down immediately and permanently, with a sustained 35 percent reduction in violent crime. High Point repeated the strategy in three additional markets over the next three years. There is virtually no remaining public drug dealing in the city, and serious crime has fallen 20 percent citywide.“The High Point strategy has since been implemented in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Raleigh, North Carolina; in Providence, Rhode Island; and in Rockford, Illinois.“The U.S. Department of Justice is launching a national program to replicate the strategy in ten additional cities.”

A press release from 2000 by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice reads as follows:
