'DC Madam' attorney teases names of people who called escort service
Source: AOL
The former lawyer for "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey said he's "waited long enough" and on Monday released information on businesses and organizations that called Palfrey's escort service.
WTOP obtained a court filing from Montgomery Blair Sibley that lists more than 100 entities that called up Palfrey's business, Pamela Martin & Associates. Some of those entities include the Archidiocese of Washington, a public school system, the FBI, and other military and government organizations. No individuals are listed.
It's important to note that the list doesn't mean that individuals within those organization did anything wrong or even patronized Palfrey's service, but the implication is there, and Sibley has said before, "those records contain information relevant to the upcoming presidential election."
Sibley says he's been under court order since 2007, preventing him from releasing those records. That was the same year Sibley began representing Palfrey after she was accused of money laundering and prostitution.

On May 1, 2008, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, known in the mainstream press as the DC Madam, was reported to have hanged herself in a shed in the back yard of her mothers home. A suicide note was found. Palfrey's note used a number of clichÈs, strangely including modern day lynching, a darkly ironic reference to her impending manner of death, and also apparently referring to the extremely selective enforcement - they tried to destroy her life, while sparing all of the politically powerful elite who used her services - that found her guilty in federal court of racketeering and money laundering in connection with her operation of an escort service that catered to Washington insiders.
The trial's verdict received little press coverage, and a scheduled Louisiana Senator David Vitter, who was admittedly one of her clients, was never subpoenaed. Palfrey was scheduled to be sentenced in late-July for her convictions. Among her reported clients were Senator John McCain, Senator Vitter, former AIDS Czar Randall Tobias - the scandal led to his resignation from his State Department position, Dick Morris, military strategist Harlan Ullman - creator of the concept of "shock and awe", and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Then came the May 1 hanging. It was presented as a suicide from the first mention with no investigation. Like so many other stories with incriminating ties to the elite, it vanished from the headlines as quickly as it appeared.
Palfrey's alleged fear of being sentenced to 6-8 years behind bars was supposedly the main reason for her suicide. However, this does not correlate with the expectations of the vast majority of legal analysts who expected Palfrey to receive a sentence of 2-3 years. Palfrey certainly knew this, since she graduated from Rollins College with a degree in criminal justice, and attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
Just a few days before her death, Palfrey herself said that "she was preparing for federal prison. She believed that she would get time off of her sentence for good behavior. She also thought that she might buy a place in Germany one day," according to a Baltimore Sun report. Palfrey's supposed fear that she would be "penniless" upon leaving jail does not correlate with the fact that she was in line to make millions for a best-selling tell-all memoir that was in the pipeline, not to mention Hollywood movies, documentaries, speaking tours and TV guest appearances.
Even the establishment media mouthpiece The Washington Post conceded that...

(953 posts)PM & Associates was an arm's length tool of surveillance
Just as in Shakespeare's time, who's sleeping with who in
power circles is a matter of importance in the spook game
There is a line in one Shakespeare play, might be Hamlet
or Othello, where someone is told to, basically, 'keep an eye
on the whorehouse'. It was pointed out in a course I took, but
sure can't find it again.

(86,536 posts)that they could get caught using theirphones and maybe used phones in someone else's office. Thing about trying to cover your pile of poo, there are always markers to see if one looks. And then there are those who are so blatant in their belief that they are above reproach (the hubris in the W crowd was as noticeable as the smell of Limburger cheese). Lest we forget that the folks in federal employment in the Denver mining oversight office were snorting coke and having sex with the lobbyists... at work and everywhere else while rubber-stamping all leases and failing to inspect mines and do their actual jobs... just like many in Congress.

(10,857 posts)I was told that the house of ill repute was just upstairs from a painfully trendy bar just where Connecticut Ave bled into 18th Street, the name of which was just a string of Roman numerals.
I learned about it because I did a lot of my drinking just across the wide street, downhill from Dupont Circle, at another painfully pretentious place called the 18th Street Lounge, so snooty that it had no sign on the door, just a big goon demanding money.
One night, probably in '99 or '00, I was sipping a martini (the best in town) and morosely complaining to an acquaintance about my long dry spell (duh, because of the martinis). The fellow waved an arm out the picture window to the building across the street: "your solution is right over there," he said, and described what was going on upstairs.
I said there was no way I would risk disease or my (shitty) career for that and the guy assured me that discretion was assured, that cops and Members of Congress were their best customers, and so on.
It was the only time I ever even thought of such a thing, and even though I was probably already soused I weighed my desires against my conscience and stuck to my olive dinner.
And no, I never went there later, nor did I know anyone who actually went there, except maybe the guy who tried to steer me over that way. But I mentioned it from time to time to others and always got the same, "oh yeah, that place" response. I was long gone before the DC Madam case blew up, but a few quick checks convinced me that this place was that place. If a lowly worm like me could be told of it then it was surely common knowledge among the birds.
