WASHINGTON — A woman accused of running a prostitution ring in the nation's capital is free to distribute thousands of pages of phone records after a federal judge lifted a restraining order on Thursday.

U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler's order granted the request of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 51, of Vallejo, Calif., to quash restrictions by government prosecutors that prohibited her from giving away the list.

"As a result, Jeane has determined to release those records under certain conditions to qualified individuals or organizations," wrote her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, in an e-mail.

Palfrey and her attorney have said the list contains up to 15,000 names and could shake up Washington by revealing high-profile individuals.

I wonder which of these esteemed public servants was dumb enough to call from a phone traceable directly back to them.

Democrat, Republican... they deserve what’s coming.

Even the most disgustingly fat rich guys get some in DC without paying for it.

Christopher Dodd

and Kid Chappaquiddick

were (reportedly) once the "bread" portion of a waitress sandwich.

After all most money in DC is spent on bribes.

Yep, bribes or blackmail. You're even given the choice sometimes(accept the bribe or get blackmailed).

What say someone contact the 'lady'.

I dare say, in keeping with her longstanding pattern, we would have to "pay for it".

So a Clinton appointee wants all(?) the names published? The word “distraction” comes to mind. Methinks that the Congress may need some extra scrutiny in the near future if this becomes a feeding frenzy by the DBM. After what they tried to sneak through last May (CIR)who knows what the ruling class will try next.

All hype, I remeber that ABC news had the list a while back and no damage was done. I figure it will be much ado about nothing. Of course, as we all know, the MSM will protect the rats.

There could be 5 or 6 different men who all used the name Bill Clinton.
