I'm not sure the Russians need to be involved in any way, given how much Hillary and Assange detest each other. Obsessive tweets in his case; a reported sardonic suggestion to "drone the guy" and more serious consideration of prosecuting him in hers.

The trouble with @Wikileaks obsessively and indiscriminately tweeting anti-Hillary leaks of greatly varying significance is that it tends to do a lot less damage than one or two really big revelations. I mean, it's really not Hillary's message and target audience I'm worried about when @Wikileaks tweets about her "private Jewish speech" when she - shock, horror - apparently observed that Saudis had exported a lot of extreme ideology in recent years...

It also reduces peoples' trust in Wikileaks and the veracity of the information they release.

Wikileaks' reputation as a (mostly) "impartial" actor was one of their greatest assets, and they seem to be throwing that away simply to sate Assange's desire for revenge...
