It is a feature and vulnerability in our legal system. The same way that we actually want Trump to sue his sexual assault accusers because we know that they would have the ability to use discovery to look into his crimes, this is the right of accused people to see what the prosecution's case is. It sucks that Russians would be able to exploit that for nefarious purposes, but it is built into the legal system. It isn't something new that Trump and his band of idiots just made up.
