Explain why they pursued Julian Assange then.

Based on your own logic then Assange did not have any requirement to protect classified information yet he was Public Enemy number one.

I know people who personally sat on the Edward Snowden board and spent years of their life trying to create a case within the intelligence community against this guy

There is a difference between someone essentially just handing you a pile of classified documents and you going around soliciting and encouraging people to break the law and mishandle the documents to give to you.
