I don’t remember the specifics because it’s been a while and with the documents getting unsealed it’s hard to search for older stuff but his lawyers stated after his death he was very optimistic about his chances and even said something to the effect of “see you this weekend” the last time they met. Doesn’t necessarily “prove” anything, but then again we can’t really “prove” it one way or the other.
He had dirt on powerful people, it seems unlikely that they’d let him go to prison because what if he talked? He just didn’t think they’d off him, he thought it was going to be round two of the prosecutor being told “this guy is CIA, you need to let him go”
His old cases got unsealed, there was more evidence and eyes on him than ever. The case was moving way more than the previous ones.
