It didn't even help him to help Trump get elected by leaking this stuff at the right moment in time and it's not like Trump couldn't help him out (see Roger Stone or Flynn soon).

He projected himself as an Anarchist once. The independence in persona. This independence was what brought him trust. He lost all that. He did not lose that because the USA wanted to see him in jail. Snowden is still a respectable person for example.
