Supreme Court Won't Release D.C. Madam Records

"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 he’s not quite sure what he now will do.
“I’m going to sleep on it and seek the counsel of people I trust,” he says. “It's laundry day anyway, so I’m going to be washing all my soccer uniforms from this weekend.”
Sibley says he likely will decide this week how to proceed and that he’s infuriated the justices refused his request that they stay the restraining order covering the records."

"In January, the then-chief judge of U.S. District Court in the nation’s capital refused to allow a clerk to file Sibley’s 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.
What purported bombshell exists in the records is unclear, as is the candidate who may be affected. Sibley is seeking to release two sets of records: a trove of raw phone logs with an estimated 5,000 unique numbers and a Verizon Wireless subpoena response he says contains names, addresses and Social Security numbers of 815 of those callers.
Sibley previously told U.S. News the bombshell is contained specifically in the Verizon subpoena response, but an attempted fact check yielded uncertainty about whether a presidential candidate is named." (…)
