His reputation is probably damaged and the fbi's was definitely damaged. Making excuses doesn't change that one bit.

"Could have been" but wasn't. To ignore the overwhelming circumstantial evidence would have been derelict. While "making excuses doesn't change that" creating imaginary "could have beens" doesn't change what actually happened.
The man had bad luck because of all the circumstantial evidence. In the end he was cleared. Sounds like a good outcome to me. But hey, why not take it to the next imaginary level and say "he could have been executed as a traitor"? There more evidence of how evil our law enforcement system is.
