Let the fireworks begin!

A federal judge today gave the green light to the so-called D.C. Madam to distribute phone records that contain the numbers of her upscale and connected clientele. In a ruling filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., Judge Gladys Kessler vacated two previous orders that barred veteran pimp Deborah Palfrey, 51, from selling or distributing a decade’s worth of phone records for Pamela Martin & Associates, the escort service Palfrey founded in 1993 and ran for 13 years. In the ruling, a copy of which you’ll find below, Kessler rejected various prosecution arguments, including the claim that potential witnesses could be harassed if the phone logs were disseminated. Before Kessler issued a pair of temporary restraining orders, Palfrey provided ABC News with four years worth of her escort service’s phone logs, which the network used for a May sweeps report on “20/20.”
