Attorney says it may behoove him to release the documents anonymously.

The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not intervene to allow release of phone records from the late “D.C. madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, despite one of her former attorneys claiming the records are “very relevant” to the presidential election.

Though he has repeatedly threatened to release the records if courts do not modify a 2007 restraining order, Montgomery Blair Sibley tells U.S. News he’s not quite sure what he now will do.

“I’m going to sleep on it and seek the counsel of people I trust,” he says. “It's laundry day anyway, so I’m going to be washing all my soccer uniforms from this weekend.”

Sibley says he likely will decide this week how to proceed and that he’s infuriated the justices refused his request that they stay the restraining order covering the records.

1. Release the Kraken! Please.

If they don't, it leaves a very strong flavor of political cover-up.

6. 'The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not intervene to allow release of phone records'

The whole court will not hear the matter, won't take any action. The status quo remains.

'In January, the then-chief judge of U.S. District Court in the nation’s capital refused to allow a clerk to file Sibley’s motion seeking consideration of the matter, writing he appeared to have no legal right to hold the records, as Palfrey fired him before her trial. Sibley disagrees, but his appeal to the D.C. Circuit federal appeals court yielded no action.'

P.S. 'Sibley currently is not licensed to practice law as the result of a 2008 suspension in Florida for filing "vexatious and meritless" lawsuits against judges and for a child support payment dispute, for which he faced reciprocal discipline in D.C. He says he intentionally has not sought to rejoin the legal profession, claiming it's rotten to its core.'

7. Sounds like they are being personal about this, getting back at a lawyer nobody likes

That is too bad given how important this is.

Now in reality it should not be AT ALL important, for all I care Hillary can fill the West Wing with male prostitutes as can Bernie with female prostitutes if elected, but to the idiots this does matter to, it is important.

10. I doubt it,

more like following procedures properly, for example, 'chief judge of U.S. District Court in the nation’s capital refused to allow a clerk to file Sibley’s motion seeking consideration of the matter, writing he appeared to have no legal right to hold the records, as Palfrey fired him before her trial.'

12. In that case someone needs to steal them and release them. That way he is safe.

3. Release them then go in hiding for your wellbeing.

9. First off if the records arent his but rather were his clients how can he legally release something

that isnt his property? Second its not after he would release that that he should be worried about its before.
Oh sure you might have some who come after him for revenge but the biggest threat I would think would be from the ones who dont want the information released at all and not the ones who might want to use him for target practice after the deed has been done.

5. Darn.

If it's Teddy, it won't make any difference. If it's Willie, all hell could break loose. As for The Donald, who cares?

11. Nah

Clintonians don't care how slimy Bill is.

8. We'd probably find out

Ted Cruz is in it and that he likes to be diapered in a Canadian flag for making #1, and an American flag for making #2.

Someone could possibly "find" it.
