Judge Gladys Kessler today entered an order permitting Montgomery Blair Sibley to substitute for Preston Burton as Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s counsel in the government’s criminal case against her. Palfrey had long been wanting to switch to Blair, who had been representing her as her civil lawyer, because they see more eye-to-eye on how her defense should proceed. Burton once represented Monica Lewinsky during the days of the Bill Clinton blow job scandal.

On another “DC Madam” front, attorneys for ABC’s Brian Ross, the New York Post’s Cindy Adams and Smoking Gun editor Bill Bastone have all claimed that their clients didn’t get served with the subpoenas to testify in Palfrey’s case, which is a pre-requisite for the court to obtain jurisdiction over their persons.

But that’s not quite the full story: “My process server did serve individuals at each of the companies where these three worked as my process server was not allowed in to actually serve these three,” Sibley tells Big Head DC. “Hence, I am now subpoenaing these three’s home addresses and I will have them served where they can’t hide behind their security guards.”

Palfrey ultimately wants each of the high-profile witnesses to testify about how they received under seal information regarding her case that did not originate from her, or her legal team.

And the case goes on.
