David, Yes, perhaps on this thread (and others) we are. But we are but a minuscule percentage of We the People and we are not the mainstream media. This is now, what about then, say around 1988 and 1992? What were the media reporting to us? What are they reporting now? Are they reporting? Editorializing? Speculating? Who really can tell! Still these remain allegations, some of which seem pretty farfetched, at least to my way of thinking. Holly

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE XXXXX 16:25:06 UTC FRI FEB 13 1998 XXXXX PENTAGON SQUEEZES FEDERAL WITNESS TRIPP Exclusive It has been learned that Linda Tripp is being squeezed in her efforts to continue to serve as a Public Affairs Specialist in the office of the Secretary of Defense. Pentagon sources say that safety concerns prevent Ms. Tripp from reporting to her duty station at the Pentagon. It is known that there have been threats on her life as a result of her role as a key federal witness in the most visible federal investigation of the White House since Watergate. As exclusively reported in the DRUDGE REPORT earlier this week, investigators have moved Ms. Tripp into a safe house. This situation has caused her to plead for understanding and implementation and possible expansion of existing policy in allowing her to work from the safe house, via computer. Credit for time spent meeting with the Office of the Independent Counsel is at issue. Sources indicate that the Pentagon intends to allow her minimal support for this request, with the end desired result being a pretext for her removal. The development is at odds with Clinton's stated support for whistle blowers. In response to a questionnaire for a conference on protecting integrity and ethics, Candidate Clinton said, in part: "I am a strong supporter of the Whistle blower Protection Act... Workers who step forward with reports of violations of law should be protected." Candidate Clinton goes on to say in this questionnaire dated March l8, l992 that, "reprisals will not be tolerated." In an article in USA TODAY dated May 25, l993, Vice President Gore gave the personal guarantee of the President and himself in ensuring that federal employees who assist in investigations, "Will not suffer retribution." ____________________________________________________ Filed by Matt Drudge drudgereport.com
