even questioning how this came to light. merrick garland was getting creamed in the pr war as trump repeatedly slammed the search as a break-in, but the attorney general felt he couldn t publicly respond. so justice department officials made hair case through leaks their case through leaks which violate the rights of a potential defendant who hasn t been charged with anything and may not be. they made garland s case from a behind a curtain of anonymity. a poll-up piece in the washington post cited people with direct information. as an ethical matter, the leaks are indefensible. i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, we ll question senior white house adviser gene sperling on the fierce debate over the president forgiving college debt for millions. that new york times story triggered a media explosion, especially the part about donald trump repeatedly holding on to documents so sensitive they could only be seen in a secure government room and a deep s
