> Yes, it got challenged AFTER needing to be leaked by a whistleblower that still can't return to his home.

Good chance is that whistleblowing would be protected in this specific case.

Yes no,

> Snowden was charged with theft, “unauthorized communication of national defense information” and “willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person,” according to the complaint. The last two charges were brought under the 1917 Espionage Act.

The Espionage Act has no whistleblower protection. If the courts were allowed rule honestly and without political entanglements, there's no way the Espionage Act is constitutional at prima facia.

"Yes no" what?

Government can charge him with whatever they want, it is up to court to decide if charges are valid.
