RIP Linda Tripp – IOTW Report

RIP Linda Tripp

Variety –

Linda Tripp, the career civil servant who ignited the impeachment of President Bill Clinton by tape-recording then-intern Monica Lewinsky, has died. She was 70.

Tripp was working in the Pentagon when she befriended Lewinsky, the former White House intern who was having an affair with the president. In 1997, she made 22 hours of surreptitious recordings of Lewinsky speaking about the affair, and then handed them over to special prosecutor Ken Starr.

To Clinton’s supporters, Tripp became one of the primary villains of the impeachment episode — a false friend who had betrayed Lewinsky’s confidence out of partisan motives. Tripp, however, remained unapologetic about her role in the scandal.

Speaking to the Slate podcast “Slow Burn” in 2018, Tripp said she hoped at the time that taping Lewinsky would ultimately benefit her. She also remained adamant that Clinton’s misbehavior with a 22-year-old intern deserved to be exposed.

  1. Not a single President since Clinton had the character or balls to help this woman.
    By the way, where has Mr. Pedophile Clinton been lately?
    Did he get eaten by a tiger?

  2. She kinda started, or her one action, this whole information age per what @Sylvia said.

    When you think about it.

    RIP Patriot, and she was one. First to expose that corrupt perverted Cracker/Bubba in Chief, to this very day the sick stories continue.

  3. Ghost, That sick piece of sh-t is still living the life of luxury with his wife who he hoped would put him back in the same bed or room?! in the WH. Don’t make me sick thinking of it. RIP to someone who took a big chance and it still amounted to nothing. The BS still continues. So sad. We need to be rid of the name but it will still continue in our future. God Bless us all. Say your prayers justice is done.

  4. I read it was pancreatic cancer. Either way, she was a real whistleblower. Not a fake assed Schiff staffer trying to anonymously overthrow our form of government on third hand hearsay.

    Skankles (you know who I mean) is the ugly one, all the way through to her rotten intestines. She’s the most vomit-worthy woman ever born in the US.

    Surly even a dope like you could agree to that, huh Larry?
