You do realise that his source, Manning, is American. It’s the Manning leaks he was prosecuted for. There is no mention of collusion with any country in the indictment or plea.
Ok, so where is the collusion with a foreign power in the Manning publications? Tell me, which charges did they drop that alleged espionage, rather than talking to a source and publishing information?
Again, Assange pleaded guilty to journalism. Your Espionage Act criminalises encouraging sources and publishing info about war crimes.
Russia is now doing the same thing to a US journalist for the WSJ, accusing him of being a spy.
