So? Both produced "evidence"; were the darlings of the opposing Parties; contributed to impeachment charges; and their action led nowhere. Further, she was fired from her job and subsequently filed a court case against the government.
You are not the gatekeeper of history and I think you are also woefully wrong. In fact, the impeachments of Clinton and Trump will likely be indelibly linked together when examining the political failure of democracy in the US. And with them, the players within will be highlighted.
These two were the public faces during impeachment; no one ever said they were similar people or ideology, but rather they served similar roles and had similar trajectories.
Yet, the similarities exist are robust whether you like it or not. Vindman's efforts were just about as insignificant as Tripp's, so thanks for underscoring that similarity, too
As an aside:
Ethics? Bill Clinton? Hahahaha. I fail to see your distinction between exploitation of vulnerable situations that result in presidents lying about it afterwards. It's not right to take advantage of Ukraine for political gain, nor is it right to exploit Interns for sexual pleasure.
I believe Lewinsky was freely discussing/bragging about her tryst.
Further, both Vindman and Tripp had Blue Dress Blues ;)
Not to mention, both were equally effective in bringing down the POTUS <rolleyes>
Maybe, but Tripp coaxed Lewinsky to give her the dress with lies about what she was going to do with it.

Like it or not, they are rife with similarity
Listing transient and broad consequences their actions had does not make the heart of their motivations, loyalties, and actions remotely alike.
Linda Tripp was no Alexander Vindman. History will not mention them in the same breath.

No dice. Similarities with relatively little significance - in the greater context of ethics in government.
