I love the NYT use of the metaphor “flying under the radar.” They mean Trump nor anyone interviewed has spoken of it, because DOJ doesn’t do press releases on investigations (and for good reason, too). Nor is there any discernible benefit to anyone involved in the investigation talking about it. “Under the radar” means “nobody told us!”CNN, December 11: JP Cooney has been doing an unnoticed financial investigation into Trump for a year (now 14 months).

Well, why should they?
I'm always glad to find out someone didn't leak it to the media, especially the NYT.
