He's essentially been imprisoned or under house arrest for over 10 years, now. I don't know how I'd be if I were told I'd be sent to the US justice system after all that. They'll lock him away for decades.

I don't believe he's the people's champion he claims he is, but I'm starting to recognise the time he's already been incarcerated as time served. The US won't.

This case is more controversial within the US government than you might think.
