Linda Tripp assumed that when the Lewinsky information became public, most people would share her assessment of Bill Clinton’s behavior. It was a reasonable assumption. “If he’s not telling the truth, he’s done,” ABC’s Sam Donaldson said in the early days of the Lewinsky scandal in 1998.

Linda Tripp thought she would be given the courtesy and respect Anita Hill receive when 'outing' Clarance Thomas... (for telling an off colored joke... ) Instead Tripp was treated as a turncoat for NOT backing the jerk Bill Clinton...

Ken Starr also moved forward on the assumption that a person outed for lying about an extramarital affair would feel shame and drop out of sight.

Starr, Tripp, and the rest of had no way of knowing of the Clintons unique pathology......driven by the conniving Clintons well-hidden plans to stay in politics and to set in place money-making schemes using govt intel and resources.
