If the court does appoint him an attorney, that's win-win for him, because the taxpayers pay for his lawyer but also, if he loses the case, then his followers can claim the attorney was really on the government's side and rigged his defense.
They'd have to be nuts to appoint a taxpayer-expensed attorney. In no way is Bundy "indigent" with a massive ranch, hundreds of cattle, the cash to fly around the country rabble-rousing and a cadre of check mailing nincompoops eager to throw money into a GoFundMe page. He pays his own way.
Plus, I don't want one penny of my money going to defend that landwasting insurrectionist sonofabitch.
One of the things that amazes me about these nimrods is how they never seem to think anything through. They are pure id, totally acting viscerally, like toddlers grabbing cookies, and then they get indignant when negative consequences occur. It seems if Bundy had any common sense, which of course he does not, he would have spent a little time before his arraignment thinking strategically before he did something ironic like ask for a court-appointed attorney. Someone more skilled at propaganda would have totally leveraged this situation.
They're all freeloaders. They just want free stuff. Bundy wants to run his cattle on public land without paying grazing fees. Despite his claims the land belongs 'to the people' if I showed up to camp on it he'd try to strangle me with his magic underwear. Their hatred for federal government is simply a cover for a desire to take any advantage to make a profit any way they can. They may actually believe their sovereign citizen horse hockey or perhaps they're sane enough to realize they're just grifters but they're not heroes or patriots. Just leeches.
I'll represent him. I'm not attorney, and I detest everything he stands for, but I'll be glad to do it just for the airfaire and per diem. I can flop at this place:

What is that place? It's a pretty building. It looks like a cake.
There are several spectacular old hotels in downtown Portland

The timber barons built a lotta cool stuff with all the $$$ they made plundering the forests.
Oooh. I'd stay there, too.
We'll get a whole floor for the Bundy Defense Team. Unlimited room service! Massages! Etc!
Cattle grazing rights in the lobby?
"The court only appoints counsel for those who can't afford an attorney," Stewart said, according to The Oregonian.
So it's really not all about principle, then. He's just a cheap bastard.
