Supreme Court Won't Release D.C. Madam Records.
Source: US News
Attorney says it may behoove him to release the documents anonymously.
The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not intervene to allow release of phone records from the late D.C. madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, despite one of her former attorneys claiming the records are very relevant to the presidential election.
Though he has repeatedly threatened to release the records if courts do not modify a 2007 restraining order, Montgomery Blair Sibley tells U.S. News hes not quite sure what he now will do.
Im going to sleep on it and seek the counsel of people I trust, he says. It's laundry day anyway, so Im going to be washing all my soccer uniforms from this weekend.
Sibley says he likely will decide this week how to proceed and that hes infuriated the justices refused his request that they stay the restraining order covering the records.

(131,415 posts)The whole court will not hear the matter, won't take any action. The status quo remains.
'In January, the then-chief judge of U.S. District Court in the nations capital refused to allow a clerk to file Sibleys motion seeking consideration of the matter, writing he appeared to have no legal right to hold the records, as Palfrey fired him before her trial. Sibley disagrees, but his appeal to the D.C. Circuit federal appeals court yielded no action.'
P.S. 'Sibley currently is not licensed to practice law as the result of a 2008 suspension in Florida for filing "vexatious and meritless" lawsuits against judges and for a child support payment dispute, for which he faced reciprocal discipline in D.C. He says he intentionally has not sought to rejoin the legal profession, claiming it's rotten to its core.'

Now in reality it should not be AT ALL important, for all I care Hillary can fill the West Wing with male prostitutes as can Bernie with female prostitutes if elected, but to the idiots this does matter to, it is important.

Oh sure you might have some who come after him for revenge but the biggest threat I would think would be from the ones who dont want the information released at all and not the ones who might want to use him for target practice after the deed has been done.
If it's Teddy, it won't make any difference. If it's Willie, all hell could break loose. As for The Donald, who cares?
Clintonians don't care how slimy Bill is.
