I'm pretty sure this isn't hypocrisy.

When it comes to the morality, whether it's good or bad I draw no distinction between leaked celebrity content and political content. A public personality has no reasonable expectation of privacy, and if they want it that bad they can just exit left the world stage. But with both acts being morally grey, the use of the act is what makes the distinction. To do this in the name of the public good is undeniably good; to do this in the name of 'omg juicy celebrity gossip' is contemptably low. Doubly so since that sort of behaviour is used by the Trumpelumps du jour (or Clintons) to excuse calling for silence in the name of dignity.

I think as a politician you forfeit your right to privacy in this regard to records. The people should not however. I know this is a heavy burden to load onto our leaders, but that's kind of proof against corruption. A leader must be willing to suffer for their people. You shouldn't want to be a politician for kicks, like Mr. T, you should want to be a politician because you're a man of iron, and want to suffer for your people.
