All along, the Clinton Administration took every step they could to make her life miserable. Linda was a career civil service worker when Clinton came into office. She held a highly paid administrative position in the Bush administration and stayed on during the transition. She was moved out fairly quickly to a position at the Pentagon. After the Monica story broke, Linda was isolated and made to feel a pariah. Her career position was finally changed so that she was moved to a position that was held by appointment. This position was time-limited to the end of Clinton's term in office. I believe this move was deliberate so that she would lose her government job and perhaps her pension.
When she tried to get a job at a U.S. facility in another country, the position was sabotaged before she even stepped into the interview. Linda is a controversial figure from the Clinton scandals and is at a disadvantage. She is an older worker, highly qualified with a high salary history, and there are many less qualified, less controversial people looking for jobs.
I was fortunate enough to meet Linda Tripp and speak with her for a few minutes. She struck me as a very courageous and honest woman of high integrity. I would recommend that she write a book and tell all, but I fear that the long arms of the Clintons and their helpers are still waiting to pounce.
I wish Linda Tripp well and hope that she will be able to find employment, save her home and find peace and joy in her future endeavors.
Thanks for this post, and all your work in Washington dogging the steps of the Clinton mob. "Dallas" is making light of the fact that the Clinton machine could and did recruit a crowd of Hollywood sock puppets to attack Linda Tripp personally for months on the airwaves. This kind of advertising was worth millions of dollars to the Billary PR machine, all directed against a single person.
Guess "Dallas" doesn't believe in the power of advertising. Maybe he/she-it should explain to the Madison Avenue crowd that the billions that they spend advertising various products is a complete waste of money. ;-)
