Full Time Jack Move? Paul & Cuccinelli accused of copying w/out credit?

Standard

Rand Paul (& Ken Cuccinelli) may have been caught stealing homework again!

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank reported that Paul originally drafted the class action suit he filed under former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s (R) name with the help of Bruce Fein, who recently served as an attorney for former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s father.

From the Post:

But a Jan. 15 draft of the complaint written by Fein has long passages that are nearly identical to those in the complaint Cuccinelli filed Wednesday. Except for some cuts and minor wording changes, they are clearly the same documents.

Fein’s ex-wife and spokeswoman, Mattie Fein, told Milbank that Cuccinelli stole “the work product, intellectual property and legal genius of Bruce Fein” without payment.

She added that Paul, who “already has one plagiarism issue, now has a lawyer who just takes another lawyer’s work product.”

Plagiarism is becoming Rand Paul’s primary campaign plank.
