WaPo: Former lawyer for the ‘D.C. Madam’ says names in her records could be ‘relevant’ to election



Attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley has sued senators and Supreme Court justices. He’s been a write-in presidential candidate. He represented the “D.C. Madam,” whose black book included a sitting senator.

Now Sibley claims that some never-before-aired information found in the records of said madam “could be relevant” to the upcoming presidential election.

How so? Well, he can’t say. Sibley is bound by restraining orders imposed by the court in the case of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who committed suicide in 2008 soon after she was found guilty of racketeering and money laundering. But her colorful former attorney is now seeking permission to release 815 names of Palfrey’s clients and the records of 40 other escort services operating in Washington, a pool that he’s hinting includes someone with bearing on the current political campaign.

On Monday, Sibley filed a complaint of judicial misconduct against Chief Judge Richard Roberts of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claiming that Roberts instructed a clerk not to file his earlier request to lift the order preventing him from making those records public. A spokeswoman for Roberts did not immediately respond to phone calls, and a Roberts spokesman gave a “no comment” to WTOP, which first reported the filing.

Some freaking out going on online because some Breitbart guy said he was about to tweet something EXPLOSIVE about Ted Cruz. That was 8 hours ago.

Probably unrelated but I can dream.
