Hopefully they have some leads here that are going to get them somewhere, but I don\u2019t think we want the public information to get ahead of the private information,\u201d Murphy said on MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, one of the keys to any criminal investigation is to keep some information private so that the good guys don\u2019t let the bad guys know what they know. Yes, that\u2019s a mouthful. But there must be some privileged information that only law enforcement and the perpetrators can know and the more guarded that information remains the better chance the cops have of linking that information with whoever committed the crime.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Murphy is right to scold the media. He also ought to counsel his Capitol Hill colleagues to keep their own mouths shut.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Sen.
