    If the text messages of Agent Exum show deep remorse for the killing or immense anger with the system that put him in the position he needed to kill then I think that would reflect well on Agent Exum.

    If instead it shows him making jokes about the victim or boasting about the killing then, yes, Agent Exum’s reputation will be further sullied.

    The government is telegraphing what the tone of his text messages are even before they are being released.
