Not to be too cynical, but I'm guessing Glenn would be delighted for the government to try to interfere with his publishing.
They managed to get to him via his Brazilian partner while he was in the UK. So what is there to lose at this point?
If the US government does want to mess with Glenn some more, he'll have the benefit of the fact that US courts do recognize some additional rights to being on US soil. And for PR purposes, being fully on US soil is also advantageous.
Not to say that he's fishing for it, but the US can screw with your Internet hosting no matter where it is, and he'll get more protection, more attention, and more sympathy if it's all located in the US.

If they're stupid enough to mess with him, it will blow up in their faces. Nothing ensures the publicity of something online like trying to take it down.
