The problem is that the indictment they brought had to avoid first amendment issues, so all they had left was this really weak case that sort of falls apart under examination.

So the headline is right, the indictment is not a 1st Amendment case, and instead it's kind of nothing, a case involving somebody following the laws as they are set out, inconveniently to the administration that wants to attack their political rival.
