To be fair, Assange doesn't seem to release personally identifying information because of malice, but rather his stated fear of the leaks being thrown out in court due to WikiLeaks tampering. He purposefully releases documents in full to prevent evidence-related loopholes closed in court.

If intentions were horses, beggars would be eating steak. Impact matters - magical thinking does not.

What was the actual, observable impact of unabridged Wikileaks documents in court cases?

I believe the expression is wish in one hand, and shit in the other; see which one fills up first
