Michael-
Good to meet you. Here's the info I have. Let me know if I forgot anything.
"Heidi Boghosian" <
director@nlg.org>, (NAtional Lawyers Guild director with
whom I'm working to choose lawyers)
Stanley Cohen
stanleycohen@earthlink.net - guy who guys on Fox and defends
Hamas, lol

-
my op-ed from other day, with links to info on OpTunisia, etc.
As I mentioned, there are three people I'm assisting in this.
"Trivette" is a channel operator of
anonops.ru, where a large faction of the
Anonymous movement does its work. He's a California male whose documents you
have (partially, it seems). Here is the entirety of what I have; if other
info is needed from him, let me know and I'll get it ASAP. The relevant
grand jury starts on Feb 10.

Attachment to federal grand jury subpoena:

"Owen" controls the
anonops.ru server. He was raided by the FBI but has not
received any subpoena. He doesn't seem interested in any legal advice until
such point as he is required to get off his ass by the Feds.
"Rabbit"/"No" is a 19-year-old Nevada female. Her family home was raided and
she was questioned at that point. She actually called right after I got off
with you and told me the following:
Equipment seized:
two broken laptops
two jump drives
father's laptop
mac book
samsung phone
iphone
router
The search warrant was shown to her only after she had requested to see it
several times and was questioned about MasterCard etc (it's looking like the
MIAA thing may just be peripheral or even unrelated, as I'm just now able to
determine). It's headlined United States District Court of Nevada. According
to one section, it was supposed to be carried out by Feb 9 - one day before
the California grand jury goes down. She'll be able to scan it and get it to
you or whoever ends up assisting by Thursday but it's in reference to her
having allegedly accessed a secure computer to obtain information, 18 U.S. c
1030a2c.
