&gt; Rather than a complaint, the documents revealed Wednesday were informational, suggesting that the government may have secured a plea deal in the case.<p>Ah, there you go. I didn&#x27;t even get to that part and I thought they&#x27;re doing this to reach a plea deal.<p>I don&#x27;t think any rational judge would actually convict a whistleblower who leaked <i>any</i> type of super-ultra-mega-secret data to the <i>media</i> under the &quot;Espionage&quot; Act. It&#x27;s not going to happen.<p>But of course the government scared him with that to take the plea deal.
