He is pretty much humped, if you can believe accounts: 

1.  It will be a military trial.

2.  He proudly spilled his guts.

3.  His intermediary Mr. MIT -- also very foolishly -- spilled his guts.  [He needed a lawyer too.  Don't know if he is smart enough to know this.  I just hope he didn't say a single incorrect thing to these government goons, and they didn't lie about what was said.  Most people are convicted of lying to a government agent in federal criminal trial.  Often the only charge.  Never, ever talk to the authorities.]

4.  He made a lot of powerful people look very foolish, vain, lying, etc.  By a 22 year old.  They want revenge.  They want WikiLeaks literally dead.  They want someone middle aged to hold up to the world for demonstration purposes, but they only got a 22 year old Lady Gaga bopper.  Not good for him.
