This dame really has a vivid imagination if she thinks she can manipulate the system like this.

I don’t believe she has anything, if there was anything it would of been wall-to-wall coverage already by the Main Stream Media courtesy of Larry “Chicken Lover” Flynt.

Classified, or just damning? Somehow, I don't think the local DC Madame ever submitted an SF86 for a security clearance.

I hope she offers up proof that some of the hypocrite terrorists used the escort service.

Yeah!, There are some things even prostitutes shouldn't be subjected too, sleeping with politico's.....

BTW, how exactly do you tell the difference between a politician and a prostitute?

A: There are some things that prostitutes won't do for money....

might be, it wouldn’t be the first time in history people tried to make themselves appear important and divulged state secrets between the sheets.

So, she disclosed Sen. Vitter, but she's protecting Islamic terrorists?

It's not classified until someone with the authority to classify it says it is. OTOH, she could mean she has information that would be deemed classified were it to be reviewed.

Its pretty obvious that she was allowed to operate in DC for many years, and that’s likely because her service was used in conjunction with blackmailing people, foreign nationals included. So I don’t doubt there are some “national security” issues at play here.
