I apologize for the brevity of this diary but without an actual list of "participants," much of this story will remain in the realm of speculation – at least until the trial rolls around – and then, Katy bar the door! All hell is gonna break loose in D.C.
I have to say straight out that I have a bad feeling about this. It’ll be a miracle if the Dems aren’t involved. Unfortunately, infidelity is not usually exclusive to one party.
Deborah J. Palfrey is unhappy. And, if you know who Deborah J. Palfrey is—and especially if you know her by Jeane—you probably don’t want her unhappy.
Anyway, if you haven’t heard the name Deborah J. Palfrey, count on hearing it a whole bunch ‘a times in coming months. The D.C. Madame is considering selling the entire 46-lbs of detailed and itemized phone records for the past 13-years in which she ran Pamela Martin & Associates, "... a high end adult fantasy firm that offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult behavior," according to a statement she put out earlier today hoping to raise funds for her legal defense.
Apparently, the IRS seized Ms. Palfrey’s assets back in October and the sale of her records would fund her fight against the seizure. According to Thursday’s The Politico, that sale could reverberate through Washington’s power corridors.
From the article:
Palfrey released what she said were a sample of the records, which don’t include names, but do feature a number of Washington area exchanges.
Her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said that prices have yet to be set for the data. "We don’t actually know that yet," he said, "because we haven’t finished mining the data to identify the individuals. Obviously if Bill Clinton’s on the list that’s a different matter than you know, somebody nobody’s ever heard of before."
The attorney said chances were good that some interesting names will pop up.
"Statistically, if you have 10,000 people, and given the structure of this particular service, these weren’t people beckoning from car windows," he said. "The escorts only responded to four and five star hotels or private residences. And so the landlines will show up on the private residences real quickly."
Randy "Duke" Cunningham comes to mind, and, how ‘bout Porter Goss and his underling (the third in line) at the CIA? What’s his name, Foggy, Foggo or something like that?
Anyway, you can bet the media is gonna be on this story like white on rice!
