Tripp taping Lewinsky....
I've never said Tripp was a person of completely sterling character.
That said, I am saying that she is leagues ABOVE a Mark Felt in character, even if some of her acts were questionable.
But I do know that taping private conversations with your friends - conversations that you prompt - and then turning the tapes over to the authorities is something less than 'dignified.'
The difference is that Tripp was protecting her life; Felt was not.
