Twitter accounts claiming to be allied with Anonymous have dropped alleged phone records of late DC madam Deborah Palfrey, showing Ted Cruz used her services.
One of the several Twitter accounts tied to the hacktivist group, tauntingly posted a screenshot of the call log, with Texas calls highlighted:

Other accounts are sharing a more detailed record through torrents, which appear to be circulating widely.

The date 9/16, highlighted in the screencap, is where multiple calls were made to various hotels. Blogger The Marshall Report claims the numbers are Cruz’s private numbers.
God Like Productions reports that another number on the call log is that of a wire transfer service titled M Lhuillier LLC.
GLP also reports that the original TIFS, along with pdf, ZIP, and csv file versions have all been online since 2007.
The day before the alleged documents were released, lawyer Montgomery Blair Sibley, who represented the late DC madam, told US News and World Report that the call logs of his former client were already online.
Sibley said the records, which he called “very relevant” to the 2016 presidential election, will become public if he fails to reset a 72-hour countdown clock. This part of an effort to get federal courts to consider lifting a 2007 gag order on the records, preventing their release.

Sibley represented Palfrey after her 2006 arrest for running an escort service popular among Washington’s upper class. In 2007, he released call logs containing about 10,000 phone numbers, which resulted in the outing of prominent political leaders including Sen. David Vitter, deputy secretary of state Randall Tobias, former Clinton administration official Dick Morris – all Republicans. He says he held back 5,000 numbers for leverage at trial – but Palfrey fired him before she was found guilty in April 2008 of money laundering and other crimes.
Two weeks after her conviction, Palfrey was found in her mother’s shed with a nylon rope around her neck, dead from apparent suicide.
A major hurdle for Sibley’s bid to modify the 2007 court order protecting the records is that Palfrey fired him.
As previously reported, an unknown prostitute was named as one of the women who allegedly had an affair with Cruz.
Trump told Maureen Dowd yesterday that he regretted tweeting Heidi's picture. this is a signal that he is changing gears. Ted appears to still be in attack mode with his comments that indicated he would consider backing over Trump with his car and that he liked Obama better than Trump. I noticed that there was no reaction from Trump or his campaign to these comments. I think that this is definitely a step in the right direction. My guess is that Trump will be toning it down for the remainder of the race.
Ted will be irrelevant once he cannot reach a majority of the delegates before the convention. As I said this will take place in a little over two weeks. At this point Ted is nothing more than a tool being used by the GOPe to try and prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates before the convention. Reacting to Ted's nasty comments only plays into the GOP establishment's hands.
The same is true for those of us who have been trashing Ted on the Free Republic. (guilty as charged) Sure he mostly deserved it and the fight was fun while it lasted, but it is now counterproductive. Cruz is no longer a serious threat. It is now time to kiss and make up and start pushing for Ted to be where he truly belongs, a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.
What are you going to do when Cruz is eliminated from getting the required 1,237 delegates that will happen this month? Are you going to still support him to go on with his campaign?
You know FRiend, we’re kind of on the same page here, although I admit to taking a few unkind shots at Cruz myself, however if someone were to go back a few months and just survey the exchange of posts between the Cruz and Trump camps, that a pretty good case could be made that it was the Cruz supporters who first opened fire on Trump and naturally Trump backers reciprocated. My good FRiend DoughtyOne can certainly testify to that.
In the case of Cruz, I think this continued scandal (whether it is true or not), is due to his failure to address it head on, not with lawyer-speak denials that it was all “garbage”, but with pointed assertions of fact, stating that he has never been unfaithful to his wife, never had an affair or mistresses, and threatening legal action against the National Enquirer if they did not immediately apologize and retract the story.
If the story does not have legs, that I think would have knocked it off the front page and on to the back page. But I don’t think there is any question that the spectacle of Carly Fiorina stepping in between Cruz and a reporter asking a question regarding this, did NOT help Cruz one iota.
Whether or not this whole phone number controversy is a smoking gun, too soon to tell. But there has already been a bunch of smoke, and again: Cruz blaming Trump for all of this was not a tactically sound decision.
I believe that until Cruz comes forward with a latter day version of Nixon’s “Checkers” speech and just lays it all out there, no matter what it is, good or bad, that the uncertain undercurrent that is dogging him will only become more difficult to overcome.
Americans love a sinner who confesses and promises to do better. Trump has acknowledged his own personal failings so far as his marriages are concerned, did that long ago in his books, and he isn’t running for Pope or Chaplain of the Senate, he’s running for President.
So is Cruz running for President (obviously) but he has chosen to mix his political overtures with the flavor of a religious revival and he ought to know that unless your closet is immaculately clean without skeletons, that is a risky move. This may very well end badly for him.
[[What I was referring to was the fonts and the spacing of the numbers for the highlighted calls being a little off in a few places.]]
Not just the font- but the apparent misspelling of ‘cans from’ and a couple of other issues too- which i posted about
This ‘phone record’ proves nothing but many on FR have jumped all over it as though it’s gospel truth proof Ted cheated-
“Did the Cruz campaign lie about Carson getting out of the Iowa race when obviously he did not. And yes Cruz would know about it. CNN did NOT say Carson was getting out of the presidential race.”
I watched CNN that day, and they did say that Carson was going home...that it looked like he was quitting. CNN’s senior reporter tweeted that he was out of the race. What’s funny is that I watched CNN afterwards and they denied they ever said a word about it! Liars. I saw them!
A few days later, I read comments from a poll worker in Iowa, and she said they never got a message from the Cruz campaign workers that Carson was quitting, so no votes were lost for Carson.
My position is, if neither get to 1237 then it’s open season. I’m not in agreement with Trump on changing the rules to fit his needs.
On the other hand, if Trump gets to 1237 I am not an advocate of taking the election way from him.
Dr. Carson was mauled by the stinking Team Cruz.
Starting with Globalist Cruz's GF.
Cruz is a shameless as Obama, but declares himself holier.
Who cares what a Paul Ryan supporter thinks. Facts are facts.
No, you are wrong.
Whether fairly or unfairly, the public really loves to go after a guy that tries to sell himself as an devout Christian Conservative, who is then found to be very unChristian in his personal life.
Nobody is perfect. Just don’t claim to be. Don’t claim to be a Conservative if you’re an establishment hack. Don’t claim to be holier than thou if you have skeletons in your closet.
Ted set himself up here IMO.
Now admitting and moving on will be a lot more difficult.
Remember, this is the guy that tried to explain away a New Hampshire loss because there weren’t may Christians up there, and claimed he would take the Bible Belt South, which he didn’t.
He really screwed up, if he does have skeletons in his closet.
Very true FRiend.
So basically, you desperately want to hang on to the idea that Cruz lied and when I dispute it, based on a response from you to me, you insult me and call me a paul ryan supporter? wth
There were 1,700 plus Iowa precincts some may not have gotten the word, but Amanda Carpenter sure tweeted about it.
Notice who Ben Carson endorsed for President.
Fiorina is on the take too, Cruz gave 500k to her PAC for still unspecified reasons...
The Ashley Madison account is real and I posted the article about it from “The Blaze”.
I thought I read on here that these phone documents were fake. The font didn’t line up (0320 and 0332) or something like that.
I don’t see a problem posting if they are in fact real but so much has been posted that is fake. It doesn’t help anyone (but Hillary). Just because it is on the internet doesn’t make it true.
You are a Paul Ryan supporter, just have not figured out how you are being used yet. Cruz is not getting the Nomination, You know this, yet are in in here fighting for a brokered convention where both Trump and Cruz are being shut out.
You seem like quite the whore yourself. Better wipe your chin. There’s a bit dripping down the side.
It’s pretty clear to me that Trump will get his 1,237. I’ve looked at the remaining 23 states after March 15th. I’ ve looked at each state and their rules all the way to June 7th and ran the numbers.
I keep hearing and reading that the GOPee is about to change the rules in mid-stream to stop Trump. That’s not right.
They are fkrs of the highest order. I don’t agree with screwing trump but I also want (and have for a very long time) a solid conservative that believes in small gov’t, low taxation, low regulation.
That’s not trump.
