Links between timing of Wikileaks release on CIA & Trump's allegations against Obama?

I haven't read much news today and don't know if any pundits have commented on this. But, doesn't it seem like the Wikileaks release about the CIA could be coordinated with Trump's allegations that he was being wiretapped? Wikileaks was strategically releasing info. during Trump's campaign and this seems perfectly timed to distract people from the allegations against Trump, and to undermine confidence in the CIA, who are the ones who likely have the info. on the Trump campaign's coordination with Russia.

Given what was already leaked about the NSA, it's not surprising that the CIA accesses people's devices. But, the fact that a our chief adversary is likely now coordinating with the President to undermine our intelligence services is absolutely chilling.

Just a remarkable coincidence, like Dmitry Rybolovlev’s plane turning up at the same airports as Trump's campaign, like Session meeting with the Russian ambassador three days before the WikiLeaks info starting dropping, like the eight dead Russians since November. Coincidence. Jeez, some people are SOOO suspicious.

Any hacks of Russian secrets from Wikileaks?

Yea, didn't think so.
