No, releasing documents is not conduct that he is charged with. > Manning, by the way, who had their sentence commuted by president Obama... Commutation is not a pardon; it is merely a limitation on punishment. Now, a pardon still wouldn't invalidate the Assange charges, but the idea that the fact that a coconspirator got less punishment than their original sentence negates the validity of charges against someone else in the conspiracy is laughable.
