I just watched the conference it is alluded to in paragraphs 4-6. Well, that does not look to me like 'recruiting'... (particularly not 'hackers', when he insists that hacking expertise is not really relevant) I also see that the documents in the "most wanted list" are documents that any investigative journalists would be interested in obtaining - i.e., the list is to trivial to be novel or original. I would say that Trump has uttered many more statements that could in the same vein be seen as "Conspiracy" and emboldening others to conspire.

Also, when reading paragraphs 19-22, it really looks to me that the supposedly criminal acts performed by Assange (attempted cracking of a password hash) was to protect the anonymity of the source - and that impression comes from the text of the indictment itself "Such a measure would have made it more difficult for investigators to identify Manning as the source of unauthorized disclosures of classified information."

There is a comical piece within the indictment that HN readers will enjoy:

"Manning did not have-administrative-level privileges, and used special software, namely a Linux operating system, to access the computer file"
