Judge lifts injunction on 'DC madam' phone records

Josh Catone
Published: Thursday July 5, 2007

A judge in the US district court in Washington, D.C. has lifted the temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing the so-called 'DC madam,' Deborah Jeane Palfrey, from selling or distributing the list of phone records from her escort business.

"The List in question is the Defendant's personal property," wrote the judge, "and contains only a log of telephone numbers. It was neither seized by the Government when it searched the Defendant's residence in California, nor listed in the Indictment putting the Defendant on notice as to which items of her property were subject to forfeiture."

The judge concluded that the government had not satisfied the requirements of the forfeiture statute that would enable them to make the "extraordinary step of freezing the property of an individual, not yet convicted of any crime, and barring her from giving away that property."

Palfrey told the Citizens for Legit Government that she was "very, very grateful" to the judge for lifting the TRO.

Earlier this week, in an interview with the Vallejo Times, Palfrey said she would make the 46 pounds of Sprint phone records available to any member of the media, including bloggers.

"A couple dozen to 100 or so" of the 10,000 names listed in the records are high profile names, said Palfrey.

With the injunction lifted, it appears Palfrey can now "distribute the records en masse to as many responsible journalists, press, media, bloggers in this country," as she has promised.

ABC News had a partial list of the names in May, but in the 11th hour decided not to release them, instead only airing an interview with Palfrey.

"Within 24 hours the whole thing was whitewashed," Palfrey told the Vallejo Times. "They had names to name and they didn't name them. Who knows who got to them -- I think the powers that be at Disney (ABC's parent company) were exerting pressure on them to kill the story and they killed it at the last minute."

This story is longer than the earlier one posted today.

Now we get to see if Cheney's on the list.

Payback for the Bush/Cheney's administration's treatment of Judge Walton, a judge on the same court?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Maybe Reggie Walton's on the list.

At oral argument, the Government was asked whether the List contained the telephone numbers of unindicted co-conspirators. After a significant silence, Government counsel agreed that the answer to the Court's question was "yes." One cannot help wondering why the Government has exhibited such a strong interest in protecting a list containing the telephone numbers of unindicted co-conspirators, i.e., the women who the Government alleges provided the illegal sexual services and the men who the Government alleges sought and obtained such illegal sexual services.

Very interesting footnote 6 in Judge Kessler's order.

I'm not so sure they were all women, or why would it be so interesting?

And there have been rumors from diverse places that Cheney's name is on the list.

Ron Paul for President
