Clearly, the drugs got to you.

Your decision down the right isn't squabbling with the government, but whether 
you should accept a plea or convince a jury of your peers you're not the villain 
you are.

Like most criminals, you don't open up on merits of the case. I don't see any 
evidence of vigilante activism against pedophiles, infraguard or international 
organized crime. It sounds like textbook script kiddie aggrandizement.

This e-mail further enforces you are a thug and a nobody who hang out in a chat 
room.

You're not a vigilante organization, you're not a security clique,  you're an 
agitator. Get a job and start generating some legit GDP or go  to college.

Attorney in regards to the Goatse Security iPad case.

Howdy Lee,

I was originally outraged by your recent acts towards persecuting me and my 
associates and extremely shaken up due to an unjust search which is based upon 
multiple violations of the Fourth amendment. I believe that this outrage, the 
emotional stress of being placed in solitary confinement for multiple days 
without cause and previous harassment by the government lead me to treat you 
less respectfully than I should, but as I was at the law library (where I 
usually go for ethical guidance) I started reading some Thomas Paine and 
experienced a revelation in how I should best proceed in dealing with you and 
your actions.

“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from 
oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will 
reach to himself.” - Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of 
Government

I’m writing you to help clarify this situation we continue to find ourselves in. 
It appears that despite the obvious facts regarding the case you continue to 
attempt prosecution on me. While information security experts world wide (many 
of whom your department hire as expert witnesses), average citizens, law 
analysis groups and consumer affairs groups continue to support me; you seem to 
still be investigating me for some sort of criminal act.

While I am sure that you are probably under a lot of pressure to produce 
something, given that you obtained a secret quasi-legal warrant, have a large 
amount of negative publicity on your office and name, and a growing number of 
people asking why you are doing this. I’m sure that this pressure is beginning 
to wear on your personal and professional relationships, and as I am and always 
have been a supporter of the United States Government, I’d like to offer some 
friendly advice before irreparable damages from your actions spread to the rest 
of the Department of Justice.

There are a few options available to you at this point:

1. Continue holding Grand Jury sessions and force an indictment. I can in no way 
advise this as it will cause harm to your professional reputation, and force the 
Department of Justice towards a path of manufacturing evidence. Social 
responsibility has always been at the core of everything we do at Goatse 
Security, and this will be extraordinarily obvious at a trial. Goatse has done 
large amounts of documented work in the areas of fighting havens for pedophiles 
worldwide, protecting US infrastructure, and keeping US citizens safe from 
Russian and Chinese organized crime. The DoJ has also done this, and quite well 
at times, but we should work together for a common goal, instead of fighting 
each other, and wasting our fiscal and legal resources. We do not have a large 
advertising budget like the DoJ and FBI have, and our publicity comes from 
citizen recognition of national  stewardship. I hope that you don’t see this as 
competition to your own great work in the area, but we believe that we could 
both do better.

2. Stop this investigation. Given the vulnerable position you’ve placed the DoJ 
in with these actions, you may be required to resign. I am very sorry that this 
is the position you find yourself in, but there are many great opportunities 
available for you in the private sector, and just because you are not getting 
paid by the government does not mean that you will not be able to help make the 
country a better, safer and healthier place for us all to enjoy. We do volunteer 
work daily, and accomplish this in our free time funded by our private sector 
work. We find this the most kind healthy form of patriotism, as it not only 
allows one to help in areas freely, but minimizes bureaucratic costs which we 
are all bear as brothers and sisters in this great nation.

3. Publicly accept assistance from Goatse Security. While the smear campaign 
your agency has launched against this group and me personally may make this 
difficult, I’m sure that fully disclosing the rationale for it would grant you 
and the DoJ forgiveness from the public, as well as from myself. As always, we 
are more then happy to work with you hand in hand towards a better country. If 
you are unable to do this for political reasons, we understand, but we would not 
want you to dishonor your family (probably the people who put you through law 
school) by making choices which are wrong but popular. AT&T needs to be held 
accountable for their insecure infrastructure as a public utility and we must 
defend the rights of consumers, over the rights of shareholders.

I pray for you Lee. I pray for you to see wisdom in your actions, and pray for 
you to be guided towards righteousness. I advise you to discuss this matter with 
your family, your friends, victims of crimes you have prosecuted, and your 
teachers for they are the people who would have been harmed had AT&T been 
allowed to silently bury their negligent endangerment of United States 
infrastructure. 

Hugs and Courage To You,

Andrew
