The problem they have is so massive its more than his freedom. If they let this well manored, well spoken kid that gave his word to protect and serve, and did, he will stand up one day at a Trump Rally and be poised to lead the whole country into standing up, kicking ass and taking names. Thats way more damaging than a liable suite or crooked lawfare. He shot a an arsonist, a looter and a shooter with three bullets, tuck and roll.
