Ecuador has begun giving the US some of Julian Assange’s possessions

There's a difference in publishing classified content (which is what journalists do) and actually stealing that content (which is what whistleblowers usually do). AFAIK Assange did not steal anything but only published what he got.

He supposedly gave Manning technical help to steal data, which is not the same as merely publishing it.

Manning was one of the best IT people in the whole military sector where he was based at. Wikileaks giving Manning technical help how to steal data is ludicrous... Manning first approached a hacker friend of his regarding the data that he already had, and that hacker friend of his told him to go to Wikileaks. After Wikileaks published the stuff, the hacker friend (diagnosed as Autist with loads of mental health problems) told the police that Manning stole the data

Allegedly how to get access to another user's creds, to avoid having to download further data Uber Manning's account.
