Once hes dead he cant spillthe real beans. The question for me is if he ends up on American soil, will the Russians or Americans want him dead?
He is better off in the USA he can clam first amendment rights freedom of the press also he won't get death the worst is 20 to life
- He is better off in the USA he can clam first amendment rights freedom of the press
  The US position is that the first amendment doesn't apply to non-citizens, and also that it isn't possible to make a public interest defense to espionage charges.
  also he won’t get death the worst is 20 to life
  The current set of charges carry up to 175 years and the US has thus far refused to guarantee to the British court that they won't add more charges after they extradite him.
  And even if he was "only" facing 20 to life, what would that be better than? He isn't charged with anything anywhere else.
  
  First amendment is given to us by our creators it says so in the us constution everyone gets it period https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/7-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-first-amendment/#:~:text=There's%20also%20no%20citizenship%20requirement,%2C%20press%2C%20assembly%20and%20petition.
- It may surprise you to learn that you have more rights in Argentina than in the US.
- Guantanamo
  
  Gitmo is a black sight for terrorist who can't be held within the us for security reasons so he might end up in the federal prison system getting moved around like el chopo if found guilty but he is in the clear cause of the first amendment
