If there was any doubt whether Ron was activated to save Weev after he got caught red-handed hacking into other people’s accounts while working with Louise Mensch, look no further.
This whole exchange was imbecilic at best.
Think about it this way. Ron is pretending to be so trusting of a hacker shown repeatedly to be illegally hacking Twitter’s systems, a Federal crime, and he is here suggesting Weev post some random pic up that he could pull off of the internet from anywhere, and that is all the proof he as a journalist needs.
Need I remind him, that the Feds are watching these dog and pony shows. The more Ron dances for Weev and Mensch, the greater the risk he winds up as a named co-conspirator for attempting, yet clearly failing, of hiding the central crime of hacking and espionage.
I guess that’s his choice.
