The problem is that illegal activites and blatant murder are being protected under the concept of "secrets".
We are not talking about leaking plans to made a nuclear bomb here or trademark secrets. We are talking about proofs of obstruction to justice and violation of international laws by part of US.
If a senator would be caught red-handed importing and selling cocaine, could just shout "but, but, this was a secret!! to the police?". Probably not.
