The colorful litigator who represented the late “D.C. madam” Deborah Palfrey and threatened this week to release his former client's call logs that he says are “very relevant” to the 2016 presidential election tells U.S. News those records already are digitized and posted online.
Montgomery Blair Sibley says the records will become public if he fails to reset a 72-hour countdown clock, which could cut short his soft two-week ultimatum for federal courts to consider lifting a 2007 gag order that covers the records, lest he deem that order void.
The countdown clock is a safeguard, Sibley says, that ensures that if he disappears the records will be published. Inevitable release, he says, may also disincentivize violent acts against him to prevent their disclosure.
The records are stored on four servers around the world, Sibley says, and dozens of reporters will receive a website link if the clock is not reset. He says he loaded the information online in January, when he decided to publicly claim the records are relevant to the presidential race.
“There’s a link right now, that if you had, you would have access to the records,” Sibley says about the website. “If I die, disappear, whatever, they will be out.”
A similar tactic was embraced by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2010 with release of an encrypted “insurance” file that could be unlocked with a password if the besieged transparency advocate chose to distribute it.

McCain and Graham...or could be 90% of Congress!!
Trump is not in DC. If New York maybe. It is either Cruz, Kasick, Bernie or Hillary. Nobody else matters as far as the presidential election goes.
So glad to see the attorney has taken precautions. I was concerned he was going to end up not living.
“Who will this hurt. My money is on Trump.”
Trump has never needed to resort to whores.
She's going to be outed.
She will then campaign as the first LGBT presidential candidate.
The lib media will orgasm over this.
She is swept into the white house.
$20 bucks to FR if I'm wrong :)
So, ya wanna do Trump, do ya?
Or post a ‘package’.
There used to be a respect for privacy, which apparently no longer exists in east coast cities.
Are we going to get back to public issues, or just drown in the pursuit of dirt--or suspected dirt--on prominent people?
As a trial lawyer, who respects privacy, and keeps files that could violate that respect, even where his client does not specifically care about same, private--I find this sort of thing utterly repugnant.
You mean prostitute route. The other seems more acceptable from his public statements.
Many powerful people prefer high end prostitutes because there are usually no strings attached. No worries of marriage, relationships, that kinda stuff.
Hillary is trailer trash.
It's not Kasich because that wouldn't even be news. He has no chance of winning and this is said to be important to the race.
It's sCruz.
Shades of Dorothy Kilgallen? who, BTW, was no prostitute but a reporter and game show player on What’s My Lime IIRC She might have known too much re JFK and his death.
Beck will take over the release, and string it out for months.
His client’s privacy is not at issue.
Paul Ryan
Could be, he has been in the DC area forever too.
I agree.
A lawyer should not use information obtained in protecting a client, later to damage the reputation of other people--not unless it is incidental to the prevention of a future crime.
The prostitution operation was busted in 2006. Cruz was not a Senator yet.
The DC Madame died in 2008, when Cruz was still in Texas. Maybe this lawyer has info on someone else, or maybe nothing.
Billionaires don’t go to street walkers, but two bit politicians do, especially two bit US Senators from Texas whose last name starts with c and ends with z.
Heidi should go get tested for STDs.
