They exposed that the NSA was illegally spying on the US population and that Clapper was a bald faced liar to Congress. They exposed CIA spying on Congress. They exposed an avalanche of Hillarys bribery and crimes. They exposed the Podesta pedophile ring.
They exposed the CIA hacking effort that collected tools from around the world to make any cyber attack look like it came from any nation they wanted. We learned about hundreds of sickening activities from WikiLeaks. We learned Hillary seriously wanted Assange droned and murdered. We learned Hillary only thought elections should happen when we are sure of the outcome. We learned of her speeches where she said of course all politicians have a private position and a public one. We learned that the CIA was indeed funding and arming ISIS in the beginning in collusion with Saudi and Gulf State interests. We learned that USAID and the US Embassy in Syria were plotting the “moderate rebel” movement as far back as 2007.
So absolutely yes id forget it. There was no way to expose the criminals in the CIA/NSA/and FedGov without some damage in other areas.
Secrecy is now used to cover up what they don’t want the American PEOPLE to know, not what they want the enemy not to know.
