Better off coming to the us getting a fair trial instead of being a held without a trial or conviction

getting a fair trial

🤨 did you read any of the links in my last comment?

(are you suggesting you think that he could actually be extradited and found not guilty, or are you saying you think he deserves to go to prison and that is what you mean by saying he would be "better off" not fighting extradition?)

Yes he could be extradited and found not guilty No member of the press deserves to go to jail For doing that's job

So, I guess you're either being disingenuous or you haven't followed the case much. If it's the latter, I highly encourage you to read the two links in my earlier comment, and/or any of these: 1, 2, 3

Are you aware of anyone besides yourself seriously arguing that he has any chance of being found not guilty in a US espionage trial, while also saying that he doesn't deserve to go to jail?

As far as I've seen, any remotely informed commentator who argues that he could get a "fair trial" in the US is also arguing that it would be "fair" for him to be convicted and spend the rest of his life in prison.

This person is both being disingenuous and showing the intellectual prowess of a sovereign citizen. I enjoyed your posts FWIW.
