I don't know that. If there is a reason to believe he commited a crime that harmed the U.S.A., then the U.S. government going after him for that crime is to be expected. But the widespread concern here is that the government is going after him so devotedly not solely because of that harm, but because they seek to gain back face and intimidate other journalists. There are other possible ulterior motives. I don't have enough information to decide one way or another, but given what we know, the concern is reasonable.
