Tripp Prosecution Backfiring
(Emphasis added)
Even the most vindictive Clinton defenders
didn't think it was such a hot idea to put Linda
Tripp on trial for taping Monica Lewinsky; a
prosecution that had the unmistakable look of a
White House inspired vendetta against the
Sexgate whistleblower.
But the case went forward anyway, right up until
Friday, when chances of winning a Tripp
conviction hit a brick wall thanks to presiding
judge Diane Leisure, who tossed most of
Lewinsky's prospective testimony against Tripp
out of court.
Now the Washington public interest lawfirm
Judicial Watch observes that Ms. Tripp may
suddenly be in the catbird seat, leaving the
White House with the worst of both worlds:
"With the news that Linda Tripp has just
'emasculated' the criminal case brought by
Maryland prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli based
on inadmissible evidence, the tables are now
turned," announced the legal watchdog group in a
Friday press release.
Tripp has previously testified she believes
first lady Hillary Clinton sicced Maryland
prosecutors on her. And a court has found that
the Clinton administration may have violated the
Privacy Act when they leaked her confidential
employee file to the press.
Judicial Watch says that's the kind of evidence
that could blow the lid off the White House's
Filegate cover-up, the subject of the group's
$90 million civil suit which names Hillary as a
defendant.
"The time has now come for Linda to go on the
offensive, and under the time tested principle
of the Bible-do unto others as you would have
them do unto you - she must now pursue justice
against Hillary Rodham Clinton and her
accomplices," said Judical Watch Chairman Larry
Klayman.
Legal experts predict that the Maryland DA will
soon drop the case against Tripp, before things
get completely out of hand. In fact, the case
could easily turn into Paula Jones II if Tripp
has the stomach for it.
How so? Tripp has argued that she had no choice
but to tape Lewinsky, because the intern was
pressuring her to falsely deny under oath any
knowledge of Lewinsky's affair with Clinton.
That pressure included White House threats to
"destroy" her.
Should Tripp want to document the kind of
pressure she was under, her attorneys might
subpoena half a dozen other women linked to
Clinton, ladies who have gone public with
accounts of death threats, break-ins and even
IRS audits in the wake of their involvement with
the philanderer-in-chief.
Witnesses could include Gennifer Flowers,
Kathleen Willey, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Dolly
Kyle Browning and even Clinton rape accuser
Juanita Broaddrick, who told NewsMax.com last
year that she was followed and had her house
broken into by someone who took only her
answering machine tape.
The incidents took place around the time
Broaddrick was considering going public with her
explosive account of the Clinton rape.
