Excellent! I see you're walking in the footsteps of Uncle Buck who walks in the footsteps of Donald Trump. You people are very righteous indeed. I applaud you. Are you sure you're not Russians?
Here's what she said:
Tripp told Klein she realized she sounded 'melodramatic,' but 'I can only say that from my perspective, I believe that she and I were at the time in danger, because nothing stands in the way of these people achieving their political ends.'
Now lets look at her "tapes" transcripts of every conversation she ever had with Lewinsky:
A Letter to the President
Oct. 6, 1997. Ms. Lewinsky decides to write to the President asking for a job in New York by Dec 1, 1997, and asks Mrs. Tripp for her help with the text.
MS. LEWINSKY Well, I typed it up.
MRS. TRIPP O.K.
MS. LEWINSKY So, I don't know. O.K. "It has been made clear to me that there is no way I'm going to be able to come back to the White House. The reasons are too lengthy to get into in a letter, and I can explain them to you in person. I want you to know that it has always been and remains to be more important to me to have you in my life than to come back. Having said that, I am extremely underchallenged and unhappy in my current position."
MRS. TRIPP Hmm.
MS. LEWINSKY It's too choppy. "Can you please secure a position for me at the U.N. as a GS-12 or 13 beginning 1 December. I would like to give my two weeks' notice as soon as possible and have some time to get myself together. My roommate, a�k�a my mom, has recently taken an apartment in New York, and we are in the process of looking for something else in D.C. It doesn't look like I can stay here. I need to be -- if I need something before we make any more commitments here."
MRS. TRIPP Mm-hmm.
MS. LEWINSKY Before we make any commitments. .�.�. "Handsome: You have been distant the past few months and shut me out. I don't know why. Is it that you don't like me anymore or are you scared? Please let me come see you this evening or Thursday night. I want to hear it, I want to hear it from you. No one else. I don't think it is asking too much after all that has happened to ask to have this discussion in person."
MRS. TRIPP Brilliant, except for the one part.
MS. LEWINSKY Which one part?
MRS. TRIPP If you put a 12 or 13 there, I am going to throw up.
MS. LEWINSKY O.K. Well, I don't have to put it? What do you mean?
MRS. TRIPP Oh, Monica, Monica, Monica. For people who are not even in any situation, they can do better.
MS. LEWINSKY Oh, Linda, please don't start with me on that.
MRS. TRIPP He would want to do better, so don't limit him is what I'm saying.
MS. LEWINSKY O.K. You know what I'll do. O.K., this is what I'll do. I will bring all my little paperwork that I had made up to have my meeting .�.�.
and show him there and say, "This is what I am making. This is what I should be making. This is what I'd like to make."
MRS. TRIPP (Sigh)
MS. LEWINSKY O.K., look, Linda ----.
MRS. TRIPP Look. In New York ----.
MS. LEWINSKY You know, this isn't just one way.
MRS. TRIPP Let me just say this: No, no, no. New York, the cost of living is even higher than here.
MS. LEWINSKY I know it is, but you'll also get a cost-of-living adjustment.
MRS. TRIPP No, it's not significant.
MS. LEWINSKY No, but let me tell you something. O.K.? I just want you to look at this from his position for a minute. O.K.?
MRS. TRIPP Mm-hmm.
MS. LEWINSKY He's thinking to himself: "I'm going to take this girl and I'm moving her. And the reason I'm moving her and the reason all this is happening is because she was my girlfriend. And I'm going to make her go from making $30,000 a year to $90,000 a year."
MRS. TRIPP No, no. But what I'm saying is, This is done routinely.
MS. LEWINSKY But ----. I know. But the reason it's done is not routine. I think that's going to scare the [deleted] out of him.
MRS. TRIPP Well, no, because actually, he doesn't have to establish the grade. That's, that's out of his hands. What he can do ----.
MS. LEWINSKY O.K. Well, look, I'll take it out of the letter.
MRS. TRIPP O.K.
MS. LEWINSKY I'll take it out of the letter.
MRS. TRIPP I would just say let's not limit yourself.
Yeah. Really threatening shit there.
