Sure, an explanation of how you managed to gloss over the profit motive of journalists leaking grand jury testimony would be great. I said, "They stand to make money from it," and you said, "Journalists just report, it doesn't matter where they hear it. It's journalistic principle." Is that the kind of expert rebuttal that leads you to encourage so many clients to plea bargain?

EVERY reporter is looking to get something from not naming sources. Respect for staying true to their word in confidentiality agreements, money, fame, whatever.
Is that a thing to really be proud of? Not really. Would pretty much anybody in their situation do that? Without a second thought. The profit motive you are so hung up about isn't unique to this case.
