There appears to be no proof that it was in fact assange who was communicating with manning. Wiki leaks affiliated? Almost certainly. Assange? No actual evidence. (that I am aware of) IMHO this is the salient weakness in the case for extradition. The fact that the same exact argument could be used against any wiki leaks affiliated individual at that time makes it a witch hunt instead of a legitimate legal proceeding.
