The tapes can't be used against Tripp basically because of her Federal immunity agreement. Also, Monica was seen as an unbelievable witness and her testimony was essentially disallowed.

The Dem's political prosecution of Tripp failed because it was left w/o any witnesses.

Actually, the key ruling was that Lewinsky couldn't testify that she wasn't aware of the taping because she is a proven liar, of poor character and therefor a tainted witness.

How did Linda Tripp get around that one.????

I believe you are mistaken. As long as Tripp was not acting as a police agent, no warrant is necessary. On the other hand, the Special Prosecutor did get a warrant and wire Tripp for the lunch in Virginia, in case there was a challenge.......
