6. No, Linda wasn't a first-hand witness, unless she SAW Monica and Bill doing it.

Or unless you're saying she gave him a "hand job"?

But from all the public reports, Linda only knew what she knew because a first-hand witness, Monica, told her.

Linda's in the same second-hand position as the whistleblower now (except the IG said that some of the whistleblower's info IS first-hand. None of Linda's was.)

7. I never said Tripp was a first-hand witness

I said Lewinsky was. Maybe I was not clear in the way I worded it.

Once Starr had Lewinsky in his focus, he was indeed dealing with a first-hand witness.

9. The point is that the Trump administration is saying that only reports of first-hand witnesses

are valid, and that's false. Linda Tripp, a second-hand witness, squealed on her friend Monica Lewinsky and Clinton, and worked -- in secret -- with the FBI for months.

... a young White House intern suddenly became bffs with Lucianne Goldberg and Linda Tripp. I know she liked older men, and that's her choice, but I would be more often hanging out with friends my own age.

Linda Tripp was, and Goldberg used Linda to set the trap for Clinton.

12. She is almost 70 years old now

I wonder if late at night she wishes she had stayed out of all of that? Or does she still feel like she did her duty?

14. She still likes to claim she saved Monica's life,

as per the conspiracy theory that there's a Clinton "hit list." If there was one, wouldn't Monica and Linda be at the top of the list of the deceased?
