Nothing, and they will likely prove that if there is a fair trial. However
A) it will take years
B) he will need to do it from a US prison cell
C) it will be expensive for him
D) they hope to impact wikileaks while this is ongoing
E) they will try to get him to accept a plea deal where the US govt gets to look like they are right, because he plead guilty after all (certainly not just to avoid a 700 year sentence for treason but because he is actually guilty)
- tareqak 8y agoWhy would he get a sentence for treason? He’s an Australian citizen and it would be a US court doing the sentencing.
- darkpuma 8y agoEven an American citizen couldn't be convicted of treason for what he is accused of doing. In America, treason has a very narrow definition. Other sort of espionage charges are another story. (Consider that even Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were not executed for treason, but rather for espionage.)
- celticninja 8y agoSwap treason for whatever they actually charge him with, the sentiment remains the same.
