Man, I have never witnessed an election like this, and I've seen, observed and voted in many! Every day, there's new shit going on.

So most likely not. Only one who really would have DC connection at that time would be Hillary or Sanders. And It would seem if it was Sanders guy would not be worried about his life would he? But only connection to Hillary would be Bill? Unless Hillary was using the hookers then that would be something.

He spent time in DC. Maybe he took the "solicitor" term to heart.

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.”

He argued a few cases in front of the Supremes between 2003 and 2008. I can't imagine it would be anyone else.

Here are some of his antics http://overlawyered.com/2008/05/montgomery-blair-sibley-suspended/

We’ve had a lot of Montgomery Blair Sibley coverage over the years:

His meritless suit against the DC Circuit (followed by a self-defeating appeal to the Supreme Court, where there was no quorum because he had sued seven of the justices)
his follies in the Palfrey case and in an earlier 2006 Florida prostitution case; and
his vexatious pro se work in family court.

And we didn’t even mention his work representing Larry Sinclair (the fellow who unsuccessfully sued Barack Obama for denying Sinclair’s implausible claim that he had engaged in a homosexual tryst with him) in a lawsuit against three anonymous bloggers. (DBKP blog, Mar. 14.)

After years of over-the-top abusive litigation, the state bar finally took action, and he has been suspended by the Florida bar for three years. No doubt, this will result in a new round of frivolous pro se collateral litigation. It took a contempt-of-court citation for failure to pay child support before the Florida bar took action, so this can hardly be considered a rousing success of the bar in policing its own, even for someone as over-the-top as Sibley. (Florida Bar v. Sibley; ABA Journal, Apr. 25; MPGS blog, May 14; h/t S.G.).
