5. Once again, the British come through for those of us in the U.S. who have seen through this

sham from the get-go. Thank goodness they're not going to allow it to slither away.

This passage seems to indicate something very illegal or very embarrassing is what's at stake here:

Angus Lapsley, a Foreign Office official responsible for US-UK relations, argued against disclosure on the grounds that Britain had “a uniquely close and privileged relationship with the US”. He added that there was “no comparator” in terms of the “breadth and depth” of the UK’s relationship with the US, which was vital to Britain’s national interests.
