68. For people going on and on about the Fourth Amendment

I don't know if you are one of those. But you've missed the point. If charged in the US, for one thing, he might have asked for bail (though now he would not get it). He has a right to speedy trial. He can only be sentenced to what the law allows if convicted. He has the right to counsel. He has the right against self incrimination. He may challenge the evidence in court. Rights of appeal. He has none of this in Russia.

For someone who did something so grand for "the Constitution" he's in a place where it's up to Putin and Co. what happens to him, not him. It's only cushy so long as they allow it.
