A certain Little Black Book

This is precious... From The Smoking Gun:
Feds Seek To Gag D.C. Madam
Prosecutors fear leak of sensitive client, escort information

Federal prosecutors want to gag an indicted former Washington, D.C. madam who has recently threatened to go public with details about her former customers. In a motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court, investigators are seeking a protective order covering discovery material to be provided to Deborah Palfrey and her lawyers. Palfrey, 50, was indicted last week on racketeering and money laundering charges stemming from her operation of the Pamela Martin & Associates escort service, which closed last summer after 13 years in business. In their motion, a copy of which you'll find below, government lawyers claim that some discovery documents contain "personal information" about Palfrey's former johns and prostitutes that is "sensitive."
I wonder how many people are sweating right now -- how many Judges are thinking about recusing themselves from anything to do with this case. Bet it will get buried very quickly... Posted by DaveH at March 7, 2007 6:53 PM
