Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Justice Department wants to keep the affidavit justifying the search of Trump's estate secret.  The media want to know why FBI agents searched Mar-a-Lago.  The judge is inclined to go along with the media to a point.  This is an interesting case of balancing public interest and a criminal investigation.  It would not have occurred but for the notoriety of the central figure -- Trump.  Trump is using his bluster to charge judicial overreach.  The Justice Department has been mostly tight-lipped.  The media in an effort to communicate to the public are fighting over scraps of information.  It's an unhealthy mix.  The judge's decision might go part way to answering the media's questions or it could only heighten demand for more facts.  Whatever he decides will probably satisfy no one.
