He knowingly received stolen documents and he knowingly released them. Those document covered a spectrum of US activities not just the ones that you highlighted.
IMO he was a basement dweller that was seeking notoriety as a hacker. Like most megalomaniacs he expected adulation from the world. In his world the consequences he is now facing were never supposed to happen.
FWIW, I think he is faking the drama to keep from being held accountable because he is already guilty as hell of doing it.
and I think he maneuvering for something to “trade” for leniency. What? We shall see!
The same deep state that’s actively trying to complete a coup against Trump is seeking revenge on Assange for hurting poor Hillary. Trump has to wrestle the deep state to the ground before he can do much about Assange.
That's my take. He's amoral, but not stupid.
