WAR COLLEGE MAY STRIP SENATOR’S DEGREE
Fox News: “An academic review board at the United States Army War College Thursday formally notified the office of a Montana senator [facing voters in November] that it would review a report he plagiarized passages in a graduate paper, Fox News has learned. Fox was told possible consequences for Sen. John Walsh, [D-Mont.,] if the report was found to be true, could include revocation of his master’s degree. Walsh suggested Wednesday that medication he took for post-traumatic stress disorder after service in Iraq may have been responsible for apparently plagiarized passages. His office told Fox it would cooperate with the War College inquiry. Earlier, it released a statement saying, ‘Senator Walsh included 96 citations for a 14-page paper at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He acknowledges the citations were not all done correctly, but that it was an unintentional mistake.’ It also claimed the paper was not a thesis, as had been reported earlier…The senator is running against Republican Rep. Steve Daines to keep the seat Walsh was appointed to in February when Max Baucus resigned to become U.S. ambassador to China.”

Walsh will stay in the race - AP: “Asked if Walsh was considering abandoning his race for election to the Senate against Republican Rep. Steve Daines, campaign spokeswoman Lauren Passalacqua said: ‘Absolutely not.’”

[Schweitzer passes - “Under state law, Walsh has until August 11, 85 days before the election, to withdraw from the race and allow the Montana Democratic Party to select a replacement. However, a source close to [former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer] told The Daily Beast that ‘there is no chance’ that Schweitzer would replace Walsh on the ballot in November…”]

Crispy - “He was looking pretty toasty before. I would say this is bacon now. I would say this is all cooked. I don’t know what else is going to happen. … But the size, the magnitude of this error and how it relates to the core part of his biography, I would say this will probably scupper this campaign.” –Chris Stirewalt to Megyn Kelly on “The Kelly File”
