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?<p>Or is the allegation that the CIA used this information to influence the French election?<p>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.<p>What exactly is a revelation here?
