It's why you first demand the politicians don't hide anything. All their financial records should be open: what restaurants did they eat, what trips they took and who they received money from. Maybe delayed with a year because of national security. Nothing to hide as an elite example to the general population.

So you think it's wise to give civilians unrestricted access to military intelligence, and allow them to hand that over to hostile foreign governments?

They were clearly talking about the politicians being he correct target of unrestricted information access and not the state itself

Likely for the obvious reason your alluding to here
