He is in a bad position. Conservative/Republicans are mad at him because they think he compromised our national security, and more importantly, may have caused the deaths of some soldiers in the field. Liberals/Democrats are mad at him because he dared to cross Hilary. Whatever comes of this, I will always give him credit for being a real journalist. He followed the leads no matter where it took him.
Hillary’s compromised private server led to the arrest and murders of Iranian citizens who were spying for the United States.
I am not convinced he will be convicted. He will be entitled to lots of discovery the government does not want to turn over. If the government refuses to provide that discovery, an honest judge would dismiss the case.
