Robo Conspiracy
Robo admits that the Adobe program was downloaded using his account, but he insists he didn’t do it. It could have been initiated by someone in the office when he stepped out, he posits, or it could have had something to do with the fact that he’d been having difficulty logging out of his account.
The young activist admits that this latest turn of events has taken him by surprise. “I’m kind of at a loss,” he said, a rare glimpse into a Jason Robo not raging against the machine. But he recovered quickly. “I want a run-off election like I deserve,” he said, the wind coming back into his sails. “And I want to appeal my eligibility.” Still, he says that his chances of getting any fair treatment are slim.
Steven Butler couldn’t share any details of Robo’s case with the Journal without Robo’s consent, but he said that he “would love for [Robo’s] whole file to be released and transparent.” That would clear up any doubt about his guilt or innocence, he said. Until then, it’s Robo versus The Man, and that position — unelected as it may be — seems to suit him just fine.
