Where were Wikileaks' servers hosted at the time? The US cops are going to go after the crimes against US businesses on US soil first.

Those are in fact the only crimes they are likely to have jurisdiction over.
If neither the perpetrator nor the servers are in the U.S., theres not likely to be any jurisdiction, but it's not actually necessary for the targeted servers to be in the U.S.; it's sufficient for jurisdiction for the (alleged) perpetrator to be operating from the U.S.
