As far as I understand it, that witness admitted to lying about a lot, but I can't find where he ever was the witness to Assange helping Manning, or that he even claimed it happened. The original article[1] that exposed Thordarson's lies doesn't even mention that; it's only tangentially tied to the claim that Assange was Manning's accomplice because they used it to say, "See? He helped Thordarson, too". As far as I know, we don't yet know what other proof the government may have that Assange helped Manning along the way simply because there hasn't been a trial yet. Until that happens, it's impossible to say that there is no proof.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
