Like the other comment, I don’t think that the US gov would set a precedent that you could publicly release many of their top secret programs and only go away for less than 6 years. And that’s also with any public outcry.
He’d still be locked up. Otherwise, you’d have a string of other “heroes” leaking everything they could.

If US would continue its violations of the law, those cases would possibly continue, and with public support, and in cases when "hero", "traitor", "whistleblower" is caught, US would be seen bad. US intelligence services should stop violating the law.
