The late Ms. Deborah Jeane Palfrey, called by the news media the DC Madam, had a little black book with 10,000 phone numbers. Her clients included Sen. David Vitter, an Assistant Secretary of State, Pentagon officials and defense contractors. A little sexual blackmail can go far when billions are at stake.

The late Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, per then Labor Secretary Alexander Costa, was similarly connected. “Belonged to intelligence” is how the then-US Attorney Costa described what he saw when arranging a most lenient sentence for the child sexual predator he had helped prosecute.
