What proof do you have of this? According to Maryland and Federal laws she did not commmit a crime.

My own guess--but it's just a guess--is that she at least knew it might be illegal. And why did she start in the first place? Hoping to make a sale through her agent Lucianne Goldberg? I think most people, if they believe the things another is telling them should be reported to the authorities, would get in touch with said authorities and ask what to do.

I never said I had "proof". I said it was reported. In Friday's New York Times:

Ms Tripp contacted Mr Starr, the independent counsel, in Jan. 12 and delivered hours of taped conversations she had recorded.

But Mr Starr's office informed her that taping telephone conversations without Ms Lewinsky's permission was illegal. They offered her immunity from prosecution and she agreed to wear a body wire and meet with Ms Lewinsky the next day, investigators say".


Seems credible enough to me.

Maryland requires both party consent to taping conversations. Tripp technically broke that one. Virginia only requires single party consent which presumably she would give herself. Hence the follow up taping after Starr got together with Tripp was done in Virginia.
