FLASHBACK: Lanny Davis Blasted Linda Tripp for Secretly Recording Monica Lewinsky as a ‘Betrayal’

WFB: Former White House special counsel Lanny Davis repeatedly blasted Linda Tripp in the late 1990s for betraying Monica Lewinsky by secretly recording her conversations about her sexual relationship with President Bill Clinton.

Davis now represents former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who recorded a conversation with Trump in 2016 where they discussed buying the rights to a Playboy model’s story claiming she and Trump had an affair years earlier. Davis provided the recording to CNN.

“What is this about,” Davis asked on CNN. “This is about honesty versus false disparagement of Michael Cohen. Why is [Trump attorney Rudy] Giuliani out falsely disparaging Michael Cohen—because they fear him.”

As a frequent cable news guest in 1998 and 1999, Davis disparaged Tripp for taking advantage of Lewinsky and possibly breaking the law. Tripp became a key figure in the scandal after she turned over recordings to Special Counsel Kenneth Starr of Lewinsky confiding in Tripp about her relationship with Clinton.

Davis ripped Tripp for deceiving Lewinsky before Tripp testified to the grand jury about the tapes and their now-ceased friendship.

“Fact number one is that she secretly taped a young woman who considered her a friend,” Davis said of Tripp in an article published June 30, 1998. “Fact number two is that she secretly contacted and debriefed the Paula Jones attorneys the night before the president was deposed essentially setting up a trap for the president of the United States. Fact number three is that Lucianne Goldberg, her literary agent, said that she advised Ms. Tripp to do the taping in order to enhance the prospects of a book contract.”

  2. Davis is the proto-typical apparatchik.
    Lies, dissimulations, murders, tortures – he will countenance whatever is necessary.
    He is aware of the deaths of 90+ people killed by the Clinton Cartel and (probably) knows the whereabouts of the bodies of the more obscure victims.
    He uses words as weapons.

    “Truth” means nothing to him.

    izlamo delenda est …

  3. I’m surprised that Davis managed to pry his lips off the collective Clinton asses to represent another dirtbag. He’s another Clinton sycophant who’s pissed that he’s not going to see the inside of the White House any time soon.
