As a voter, if someone hired by a potential political nominee asked Wikileaks for illegally acquired information, I'd like to know. In a hypothetical world where Wikileaks gave them that information, it would in fact be criminal.

Assange stated that the data was requested by Cambridge Analytica knowing they were hired by the Trump campaign for normal opposition research. I consider withholding that information alone (the fact that the guys Trump's campaign hired attempted to break the law and were rebuffed) as quite impactful. Trump is quite tight with Brad Parscale, as he was the "Campaign Digital Director" in charge of these things.
