How did Joe Biden's law school plagerism surface in the late 80s? Aren't school records private?

It seemed like the law school plagiarism did him in back in '88 because it made it seem like a habit.

Most of the old articles on this are pay-walled. How exactly were his student disciplinary(?) records made public? I can't recall any other instance of someone's school records being so public.


Nice try, mole.

Don't waste time on this one, Trumpster. If people care about things like this, then they simply CANNOT vote for Trump and Biden is the lesser of two evils.

+1 if this is the extent of it, I'll happily vote for Biden, though I'm not a big fan of his. This is pathetic. Let's look at Trump's academic record for an apples to apples comparison.

We can't look at Trump's record, they've never leaked. That's the point. How did an academic issue Biden did at age 23 leak to the media in 1987? I thought academic records were private.

There's all kinds of cheating. I'd say that making up a medical condition to beat the military draft is morally worse than plagiarism.

When he admitted to the law school plagiarism -- he got an "F" in the class -- Biden said, "I did something very stupid 23 years ago." He described it as a "mistake" that was not intentional, said The Post. "The record showed that in a meeting on Dec. 1, 1965, the law school faculty found that Biden had, 'without quotation or citation,' lifted five pages from a published law review article and used them in his 15-page paper for a legal-methods course," reported The Post.

How is such a thing revealed?


As if you care how it was revealed. What a fraud.

Or tax returns -- but we'll see those soon.

Biden is a fundamentally decent person and has not threatened to sue the school and the person releasing documents into oblivion as Donnie has.


No, he hasn't. The question is whether Biden learned from his mistake. He might have, but these days he seems to be stage-managed, so my concern is those he has surrounded himself with in his campaign and potentially his administration. If he wins, and he's not careful, Biden will end up like Jimmy Carter.



Who cares!! Compared to Trump, that's all anyone can say -- WHO CARES!!!! I'm voting against Trump, no matter what.

biden is a fundamentally racist person who has been credibly accused of committing a vile sexual assault and to this day continues to touch women inappropriately.
Still voting for him?


Yes. He's better than the other fundamentally racist person who has been credibly accused of committing a vile sexual assault.

Does it matter? He plagiarized and we know it. We can decide what to do with that information. I'm over the effort to either make Biden look like a living saint or drag him through the mud over what happened 50+ years ago. He's not a saint, but he's running for president, not trying to be canonized.

I think the real question is whether Biden's exaggerations (lies) helped his political career, similar to what Elizabeth Warren did.


Well no, it lost him any shot at winning the 88 primary.

What happened to believe all women? Metoo seems rather quiet these days.
