...haven't taken money from him usually work with someone who has. Washington Post matriarch Katharine Graham writes in her memoir that Nixon wanted Scaife to buy the Post during the Watergate scandal. Scaife has also financed the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a backer of former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's loosely sourced, Clinton-bashing best seller Unlimited Access, and the Free Congress Foundation, which once set up a toll-free hot line for women who claimed they had been sexually harassed by President Clinton. (Please hold; your call will be answered in the order in which it was received...
...cautionary tale for White House damage controllers. Tripp had a history of befriending women who told tales of intimate encounters with the President. She certainly shared the view of those who disapproved of the frolicsome Clinton culture, and was pleased by the 1996 publication of former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's book in which he alleged that sex toys dangled from the White House Christmas tree. Tripp was annoyed by the efforts of the President's men to discredit the author...
About a year later, former FBI man Gary Aldrich published his incendiary tale of shenanigans inside Clinton's White House. It was delicious reading for Tripp, who became angry when the White House tried to discredit Aldrich, whom she knew from the Bush years. It gave Tripp the idea for her own kiss-and-tell.

...truth, I have been vilified by spokesmen for the administration I proudly serve as a political appointee.? The Pentagon staffer can hardly be said to have ?proudly served? the Clinton administration, given her frequent contact with Ken Starr and plans for a tell-all book à la Gary Aldrich. But Tripp does defend the friend she lost when those tapes went public: Lewinsky was ?a bright, caring, generous soul -- one who has made poor choices. She was not a stalker, she was invited; she did not embellish, the truth is sensational enough.? Whether this is also true of Tripp herself...
...motivated by self-protection. Anticipating that she would be called as a witness in the unfolding Paula Jones case, she wanted evidence that Lewinsky had confessed an affair with Clinton. But Tripp had an even longer standing interest in the White House's sexual mores. After her friend Gary Aldrich was discredited by the White House for writing about alleged sex play there, she got angry and hoped to shore up his account in a book of her own. She sent a proposal to a literary agent in New York, but the publishing plans never panned...
