Citizens for Legitimate Government (CLG) has learned that so-called DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, filed a pro se "Motion for Pretrial Conference to Consider Matters Relating to Classified Information" under the Classified Information Procedures Act.

This filing alerts the government that Palfrey's defense will likely involve the disclosure of evidence and identities presently deemed "Classified" by the U.S. government.


In an exclusive interview with CLG, Ms. Palfrey told Lori Price:

"My attorney, Mr. Sibley, and I, have very good reason to believe my case involves matters relating to national security and intelligence gathering operations. One has to remember I was in business in a city, which is home and host to some of the most powerful and connected men - not only in this country, but to foreign officials, dignitaries and businessmen from abroad for almost 13 years, from 1993 to 2006. Particularly, my firm was patronized by a significant number of Middle-Eastern clients over the years; most especially, prior to 9/11. I have contended from the onset and have stated accordingly on numerous occasions, that my situation has absolutely nothing to do with prostitution related issues. In great measure, my very rationale for breaking with Mr. Preston Burton, of late is he views my case as a simple - albeit grossly exaggerated - prostitution matter. There is something very disturbing and I would daresay highly secretive about the existence of my truly bizarre case. And I intend to uncover exactly what this is here."

3. DC Madam: The Plot Thickens

If a madam's client list is still classified on the grounds of national security, you *know* Cheney's gotta be involved somehow. LOL.

So, is *THIS* the "secret, undisclosed location" where Dick has been spending so much of his time these past few years?:)

Hmmm.... The plot sickens.

4. I still think entities within the White House, and the intelligence agencies, were using this agency

to gather blackmail evidence to hold over the heads of selected Republicans (and a few Democrats) in order to emass their power, vis a vie forcing vote compliance with the Bush administration. Iti's the only reason, I can think of, that the poser of the Unitary exective has reached the level it has in 8 short years, and why almost inexplicably, the Bush WHite House has gotten nearly EVERYTHING it has desired whilst never having to be held accountable for ANY of it.

It's the only way this could have been accomplished. Blackmail. It would be fun if Cheney was on the list, but my guess is it will involve people set up by Cheney and company in order to ensure Republican unity on a host of questionable fronts.

Just my opinion, though.

6. Didn't the full list get sent to CLG and news agencies? I wonder

how this can be silenced since so many have the list. Including Larry Flint. Unless she only released parts of the list and held back some that has the really incriminating info. The "foreign dignitaries" and Middle-Eastern clients. Prince Bandar comes to mind...but who knows who else could be in there that might even have ties to 9/11 breaches of intelligence.

7. Has the DC madam been tied to Abramoff yet?

Because it sounds like that's where this is leading.
