I’m pretty conflicted about this I gotta say.

I don’t know. So an important fact you have to consider is that we are only seeing evidence presented that was already cleared to be released. That’s why many think the indictment was brought immediately following the ISIS attack on Iran. There are likely many much worse documents he had in his possession but prosecution is prevented from showing it or using it as evidence so defense may not necessarily require clearance. Regardless federal courts have the ability to compel a lawyer to take on a case for clients who cannot otherwise hire representation. I imagine they could easily find a lawyer with proper clearance if it was necessary. Ron Desantis could take the case.

The statement from r/watchredditdie when they closed the sub really put things in perspective for me.

Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian have gone so far as to renege on their promise of listing Aaron Swartz among Reddit, Inc’s founders. Such an egregious breach of contract - only performed once their agreed-upon co-founder no longer walked the earth - could only be carried out by immoral individuals acting in fundamental bad faith. In this way and so many others, Reddit is dead.
