Isn't WikiLeaks a compromised Russian op now? Of all of the right-wing organizations out there, they target these two?

I'm not confident it is a Russian op, but Russia has always fueled both sides of the political spectrum. They don't necessarily want one side to prevail, they just want their opponents to be divided.

In the last 7 years they've been pretty one sided on the political propaganda spectrum

They're definitely in favor of the right, but it was only a few years ago that a Russian-backed bot fa was found to be running both right-wing and left-wing propaganda accounts. They know that if we're busy fighting amongst ourselves, we won't pay as much attention to everything that they're doing.

Maybe they don't target anybody and just publish what gets into their hands and they see as worthy of publication. They are not the leakers they are the publishers.

They are also the editors. These documents have been redacted to comply with privacy laws. As publishers, they also decide the date of publication... which in this case is quite "curious" (see my other comment).
