I doubt it, it’s not a “no jury in the land” case, but it probably is a “no prosecutor in the land” case. In Swartz’s case it wasn’t at all obvious to an outsider how many people would be upset, but there certainly were big domestic interests in favour of prosecuting him. Positive EV for the prosecutor. Here? You’ll find little serious support for bringing charges, but the chances of the story being spun in a way that casts a very negative light on the government are high. While I don’t agree in principle, you could easily paint this man as a hero for striking against a war-mongering country that lets their ransomware gangs attack American hospitals and other critical infrastructure with impunity. Prosecutors worry more about career progression than juries, cases like this have a negative expected value.
