> So if you endorse this, aren't you just opening the door for every election cycle whereby the US's enemies get to wade in and strategically release information that they've obtained through espionage? If there's no dirty laundry to air, this strategy doesn't work. Clean up your act at home and your enemies will have no ammunition. Guess what's the first step to do that... Even if this was a Russian ploy, you should be thanking them.

  My politicians ideally shouldn't. And absolutely should lose elections when their dirty laundry is aired if that's what the voters think when seeing the truth.

  To the degree you're acting as a representative of my interests, yeah, you shouldn't have. Individuals have a right to privacy. Those who hold power in the public's trust, have no right to secrecy.
