In which Sarah Paulson plays Linda Tripp and Beanie Feldstein plays Monica Lewinsky

Impeachment is attentive to Monica Lewinsky but most fascinated by Linda Tripp , a loathsome figure the show nonetheless refuses to fully indict. Photo: /Tina Thorpe/FX As played by Sarah Paulson in the new season of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story, Linda Tripp is a mesmerizing figure. The third season of the franchise, subtitled Impeachment, is the Monica Lewinsky–Bill Clinton story, a tale so familiar now that it is essentially a modern American legend.

Impeachment is this in a nutshell: attentive to Lewinsky , gimlet-eyed at Clinton , but fascinated by Tripp, this woman the show cannot bring itself to find sympathy for but whom it also refuses to fully indict.

For anyone who already knows this story well, through any of the mountain of books, articles, podcasts, and docuseries that have come out about Lewinsky and Paula Jones and the Clintons, Impeachment will not add anything new to the general outline.

Whether sceptics understand it or not, this is exactly what France has been saying Europe needs a strong EU army. People only see short term let-down by Europe's military sugar daddy... The biggest reason lies elsewhere : with a clash China/USA over Taiwan becoming likely in the next 20y, having a strong EU force is one of the best clash avoidance scenario.
