Thanks But No Thanks

   Donald Trump rejected a New York grand jury invitation to visit and talk about a case local officials were investigating.
   In his view, however, this was just another witch hunt and not worth his time or cooperation. Next step: New York prosecutors will finish presenting their case and the grand jury will decide whether charges are appropriate and, if so, against whom.
   The questions then become:
   Will charges be filed against the ex-president?
   Or against an associate?
   Or both?
   That's the Who question.
   The What has to do with relationships.
   Where is clear: Somewhere in New York.
   When is fuzzy. Probably before he became president, and possibly during his term. Or maybe later.
   Why? Legal  prosecutors are like journalists in this area, since they may never know the answer.

   No matter. The story is there, and the public will soon have an answer, even as we keep in mind that sometimes the answer is No.
