They sell dirty laundry 24/7.

I think in certain criminal cases the judge restricts the criminal from receiving personal proceeds related to his/her telling.

And that includes all law enforcement staff, helicopters, news people (heck, let them get a free ride for a change, they came for a scam too), etc. etc.
Let’s see how she responds when held responsible for her acts.
