So... The Russians (or associates) leaked to Wikileaks a set of CIA operations that were spying on an election to distract from the Russians influencing an election?

Or is the allegation that the CIA used this information to influence the French election?

I find the similar-but-lesser-degree of this and the timing to be highly suspicious from Wikileaks, who seems to have taken a not-really-neutral tack as of late.

Seems like the CIA was tasked with gathering intel on presidential candidates of a major European nation.

What exactly is a revelation here?
