As others said, that's a bit of a stretch, at least to say that was their intent. It's also worth noting that the Saudi release in question occurred in 2015, but the outrage stories didn't appear until shortly before Wikileaks released the Podesta emails — which suggests the hackers had been pitching them to mainstream news outlets, who rejected the story and instead looked for a preemptive shoot-the-messenger angle on the outlet that did [they assumed?] agree to publish them, Wikileaks.
