Working for the Federal Bureau of Investigations is one of the most prestigious jobs that a person can hold in the United States of American. It's more than law enforcement; it is a role that is dedicated to the country's biggest investigations, its absolutely crucial cases, its most heinous criminals. It brings justice to some of the most monumental crimes affected the U.S. And Elaine Lipka is part of that.

Since 2005, Elaine Xydis Lipka has been a special agent with the FBI. During her time with the national organization, she focused heavily on counterterrorism on both domestic and international levels. She has worked in the Denver Field Office as well as in Washington, D.C. At one point, she was a member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, a multi-agency group of investigators that gathered intelligence in partnership with others. Her vast experience with the FBI includes an education in active shooter awareness, creation of extensive investigative reports and acting as a liason with state, federal and foreign agencies. This role with the FBI followed many years of dedicated work in law enforcement with increasing job responsibilities, including an education at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, all aiding her expertise moving into the national agency.

FBI Special Agent Elaine Xydis Lipka has worked with the renowned United States agency since 1991. Her experience is vast and spans a variety of work, from surveillance and training to vital investigations of national importance. Once such investigation was research into the perjury trial of President Bill Clinton in 1997. Lipka worked on a team organized and led by Special Prosecutor Ken Starr.

This particular investigation -- unlike most others that Lipka has worked on during her time with the FBI -- gained immense attention both nationally and globally. Lipka was the very first FBI special agent to dive into and analyze the infamous tapes of conversations between Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp. Per the request of Starr, Lipka examined the discussions for any pertinent evidence and to help decipher whether or not Lewinsky was being truthful. Starr wanted to ensure that Lewinksy’s claims were true before prosecuting the case more in depth. There were 22 tapes in total. Following heavy analysis of the conversations and hours of examination, Lipka informed Starr that Lewinsky was not simply fantasizing about the President of the United States, but rather, there was an existing sexual relationship occurring. This analysis conducted by Elaine Lipka led to further work on the case, including transcriptions of the audio and working hand-in-hand with Tripp to clarify inaudible segments.
