...eyes of newsmen who have worked on the story. The first leaks on the Agnew case did not even come from the Justice Department. They came from political sources in Maryland who got an idea what was afoot from questions being asked by investigators. Agnew quickly confirmed that an investigation was under way. A succession of leaks ensued from the White House and the Vice President's office. Only then did the Justice Department leaks begin.
