You need to familiarize yourself with the details behind the "espionage" charge. It's a bogus technicality charge that is based solely on something Assange said to an alleged hacker. It is a similar deal to the bogus impeachment against Trump for what he said on his Ukraine phone call.
I will just paraphrase what I remember about the conversation, because I am feeling lazy and don't feel like sourcing the details. But, going off memory here...
HACKER ends up hacking classified files, and giving them to Assange. US DoJ slithers out from under a rock and says "A ha! We got you! Assange made the hacker steal classified documents!" DoJ proceeds to charge Assange with espionage to prolong his unjust suffering.
It's a total horseshit political persecution by the US Gestapo.
They have chat logs between Manning and Assange.
And it was more like Manning asking Assange for technical help cracking a password hash. And Assange helping Manning.
The chat logs are public. You can see for yourself exactly what was said.
