He couldn't have snared the President if it hadn't been for the Tripp tapes.
They provided the evidence for Reno to expand Starr's investigation.

Adam, it just doesn't work that way.  When an employee files a sexual
harassment complaint or other other EEO type complaint, it will wind up in the
EEOC's hands, and it will cost the accused offender a lot in legal fees, and
the plaintiff nothing.  The plaintiff plays on the EEOC's money.

How much did Texaco pay out a couple of years ago in the complaint brought by
black employees?
