True about Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning. Not so true about Assange. And it’s not just the legality. He didn’t simply release documents, he collaborated (as far as it is understood) with another country, to undermine the governments that imposed sanctions on it for the crimes it has (still does) committed.

Can I explain? Did I miss something?

In terms of legality, I think all that should matter is whether it is legal for a particular party to leak a particular document or not. Making collaboration a determinant of the legality of the leak makes the determination of legality far too politically subjective.
