I am not sure when the taping began. Some of the key conversations involved Monica and her mother, I think, proposing ways in which Linda Tripp could file a "misleading" affidavit in order to avoid a subpoena.
It was Monica and Clinton who conducted themselves in such a fashion that they ended up involving Linda in a criminal conspiracy. I would agree that that was a betrayal of trust.
Help me understand what the circumstances were that would justify accusing Linda of a betrayal of trust. I am absolutely confident that Monica would have been fed to the wolves if not for the evidence gathered by Linda. Linda protected Monica from betrayals on the part of many other people, one of whom could reasonably have been considered the most powerful person on Earth.
Monica was trying to suborn perjury from Tripp. At that point, any trust that existed went out the window - my friends don't ask me to commit crimes for them, and if they did, they wouldn't be my friends any more.
