    He materially helped to get Trump elected (by publishing material illegally obtained by foreign intel service - GRU).

    He is a genuine death row material, his alleged intent to off himself should be viewed as attempt to cheat justice and get treated accordingly (24/7 suicide watch with cell mate Rock personally responsible for it)
