US government should offer secure IT services to campaigns

They already do. Part of the problem is that the candidates themselves don't want to comply, for fear of someone in the secret service leaking.

This goes back to Clinton sneaking around behind the back of his detail to get head and Cheney maintaining a secret vault of physical files to skirt rules on disclosure.

Having damning material to blackmail a President would be a problem

J. Edger Hoover would consider it extremely useful, particularly if he needed to tighten the leash.

Depending on who you believe, your bosses having Compromat on you is practically a prerequisite for climbing the ladder.
