The problem is that weev doesn't understand how a grand jury subpoena works. He has not been indicted, nor charged with any crime related to the "hack" yet. He has only been asked to testify in front of a federal grand jury. The government has no responsibility to provide a public defender, because he hasn't been indicted and charged with a crime yet. Technically, he's not yet a defendant.

I should mention the other charge for possession is most likely completely separate, and being handled at the state/local level, since he didn't commit a federal crime in that regard (it would have to be interstate trafficking).

In short, weev doesn't understand how the federal justice system works and is asking for help.

That makes sense. His jump to conclusions made the essay longer and more convoluted and confusing than of he just said "I need legal assistance and I don't have any funds. Help!"

I believe weev has some kind of negative history with EFF.

Why aren't we reading about that, and instead reading about zionists and why a judge denied him a public defender for a misdemeanor drug charge unrelated to the computer security issue?

Not to mention that those opposing the EFF's agenda of open network access must see weev's behavior here and earlier as exemplary of why such access is dangerous.

Not to mention that Weev is on record as opposing said agenda. http://weev.livejournal.com/384838.html
