What is the difference between Bill Clinton and Paula Jones?

In a December 1, 2003, appearance with Larry King on Larry King Live, Tripp told of her battle with breast cancer. On the subject of her successful invasion of privacy lawsuit against the federal government, Tripp claimed that she actually came out behind financially, due to attorneys' fees and the derailment of her government career. She also claimed that the Clinton Administration's violations of her privacy were not equivalent to her violations of Monica Lewinsky's privacy as the Clinton Administration's leaking of her employment history was illegal. Furthermore, Lewinsky had asked her to lie under oath in the Paula Jones lawsuit against Bill Clinton, something she had refused to do. She told King that that she only began taping her conversations with Lewinsky, whom she had known for 18 months, a mere eight weeks before she was scheduled to be deposed in the Jones lawsuit. Tripp has earlier said she taped the conversations to prevent the Clinton Administration from retaliating against her since she had decided not to lie under oath.
