If you are on the Inteligence Committee and you leak stuff it is a very risky strategy as: 1) you will get thrown off the committee and someone more trusted by the agencies will replace you. 2) even after throwing you off the committee they may keep more secret information from the committee and justify it by the risk of the members leaking it as in this example. You need to try to ensure leak is big enough to break the current system and INCREASE the oversight rather than further reduce it OR to have reached a point where you aren't actually doing any good on the committee in the first place.
