NEW YORK — As a White House staffer who worked directly adjacent to Hillary Clinton’s second floor West Wing office, Linda Tripp was afforded a front row seat to some of the most infamous scandals to rock the Bill Clinton White House. Tripp possesses insider information on the scandals known as Travelgate, Filegate and Whitewater, and she personally witnessed the handling of documents from Vince Foster’s office the morning after the Deputy White House Counsel was found dead in an apparent suicide. Foster was heavily involved in defending the Clintons in the Travelgate, Filegate and Whitewater cases. Tripp was the last person known to have spoken to Foster before his death.
In an exclusive interview, Tripp reopened each of those scandals – Travelgate, Filegate, Whitewater and the issues surrounding Vince Foster’s death – and she used her unique vantage point to explain how the notorious cases foreshadowed many of the current Clinton controversies, from the Clinton Foundation to Hillary Clinton’s private email server troubles.
Tripp spoke in an hour-long interview set to air in full on this reporter’s Sunday night talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia.
Tripp is well-known for her role in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, documenting evidence of the young intern’s relationship with Bill Clinton and submitting the documentation to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, leading to the public disclosure of the affair.
However, many people may be surprised to learn of Tripp’s larger role in the West Wing, and her firsthand experiences behind the curtain of the Clinton scandal machine.

If it had not been for Linda Tripp there would be no little blue dress and Monica might have ended up dead, just like Mary Mahoney.
Is that what she looks like now? Holy cow!
A woman called into Laura Ingraham yesterday, plaintiff in some landmark case (I don’t know what), and she was focused on Travelgate as a Clinton mistreatment of employees. Makes any allegations against Trump tame by comparison (and the allegations against Trump are, as far as I can tell, all BS claims anyway).
Linda Tripp is the true heroine of the Lewinsky affair.
Had she not counseled Monica to save the blue dress(with the DNA evidence) Monica would not have lived to see 1999.
And remember the Harridan went on TV to blame a vast right wing conspiracy. A few months later a very redfaced Bill Clinton had to admit the Truth.
I’m with Trump—i am tired of 25 years of Clinton corruption.
It ends on November 8th.
And God bless you, Linda Tripp—you bore the brunt of a Clinton directed media assault of personal destruction.

Oh well—it was worth repeating!
"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."
...... and the other one swears to it.
=============================================
VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
the VRWC."
Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
Clinton was a tax-paid govt employee using tax -paid offices
but the sucker claimed it was his business what he did there (groan).
===============================================
CLINTON SOLIDARITY
"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today.
His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."
"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country. ..."

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

You must read this. A bombshell.
As far as I am concerned he would be an excellent replacement for Cheetos faced Beck on Sirius/XM patriot channel.
The above pic looks like a selfy.... selfies always look weird, IMO. I think she looks just fine for her age.
Read what? Since he posted the article I assume you are not talking about that.
There is a huge difference between the prerogatives of a private employer and a federal supervisor and they all run in favor of the private employer. As a representative of a terribly powerful government, the federal authority must be controlled and must operate only within the law. The damage a federal authority can do is potentially far greater than the damage likely to be committed by a private employer.
But the situation involving Hillary Clinton is even worse because she exercised power without proper authority. She was not authorized by law to hire and fire or discipline. She was an interloper who was there only by virtue of a license granted her contiguous with her marriage license. There was no vetting of Hillary's obtaining the job, no lawful authority over her, no regulations bound her she was free to be as arbitrary as she pleased.
Finally, federal officers are obligated to behave transparently and Hillary, typically, operated in dark shadows.
Me too. The catalog of Clinton wrongs is like the Sears catalogs of days gone by. No way to remember all the contents.
PFL
What a great read. She shouldn’t think of herself as a coward though. She did more than most had to expose corruption and God bless her for that.
Did anyone see the Frontline show on Monday on Trump and Clinton? Basically they want us to believe that Hillary’s penchant for secrecy stems from her childhood environment. They didn’t even entertain the fact that she is secretive because she is corrupt. They had all these people who could speak to her being there for Bill during the scandals and what a trooper she was. But when they got to Trump it was a totally different story. I think Roger Stone was the only person they had that was in Trump’s corner. And they laid on really thick Trump failed business dealings. The show had a different producer for T and C, but they sure we’re in sync about whose side they were on. They made Trump out to be manic. It was such crap.
I guess I got a little off topic there.
She looks GREAT now,,,,how catty.
