his "revelation" was that America and US spy agencies work together.

By leaking those german documents about the BND cooperating with the NSA, Wikileaks is actually punishing Germany for using Snowden's documents but refusing to call Snowden in in person as a witness. The statement of Wikileaks almost admitted that much.
