For one, she got a nice book deal out of it.
But your right, blackmail is not the correct word. To my knowledge she never tried to blackmail Clinton. What she did do, however, was tape phone conversations with Lewinsky, without her knowledge, 20 some tapes worth as a matter of fact. The woman has a habit of being in the midst of scandals, too often to be coincidental if you ask me. From my understanding of the events and the woman, she appears to be a busybody attention seeker. Considering that Lewinsky never mentioned Clinton by name in any of the tapes, it seems she had an agenda in going to Starr. In any case, she was preparing her book faster than the press could print Clinton scandal stories. |
