The Associated Press reports on statement from White House:
The White House says it is disappointed in a presidential aide who has been accused of plagarism and that his behavior is unacceptable.
[ ...]
White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore says his behavior is "not acceptable" and tha that White House is disappointed in his actions. She said officials were looking into allegations of other instances of plagarism by Goeglein. [ ... ]
Asked if he would keep his job, she said, "At this point we have nothing more for you on that."
[ ... ]
Lawrimore said the White House press office was unaware that Goeglein was writing a column. "He recalls that he informed someone in the White House press office earlier in the administration," she said.
"Regretfully, this contretemps is likely to become a national story."
Then FWoB wrote TWO additional posts about it.
Irony?

As was once said (as I plagiarize): Copy from one and it's called plagiarism. Copy from two and it's called research.

Being as it's Friday, and a good time to dispense with all this, one isn't surprised with this story, about Goeglein's resignation
