Julian Assange Arrested. Did he Sabotage Wikileaks?

Julian Assange Arrested outside Ecuador's embassy earlier this morning for cracking a password on government computers related to Chelsea Manning's release of damning information about the use of force by United States forces during the occupation of Iraq.

Was Julian Assange Arrested for publishing information that made the war effort look bad or for committing a crime and breaking a government password with Chelsea Manning to retrieve that information... and how should this play into our understanding of him, his prosecution?

If he's extradited, Trump will pardon him. He's the link to the Russians on lots of released e-mails.
