Explains why so few have been arrested.  The cops were busy.

Federal prosecutors charge journalist with 14 felonies for sharing unaired segments of antisemitic Tucker Carlson/Kanye West interview

Independent Florida journalist Timothy Burke is facing serious charges for accessing and sharing publicly available, but unbroadcast, video

In a major attack on journalists and free speech, federal prosecutors on February 15 charged independent Florida journalist Timothy Burke with 14 felonies, including conspiracy and wiretapping, for accessing and then sharing previously unaired interview footage featuring former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and Hitler-lover Ye (formerly Kanye West). The indictment came more than eight months after Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents raided Burke’s Tampa home and stole thousands of dollars worth of video, cell phone and computer equipment. The May 2023 police state raid on Burke’s home, which was accompanied by a sealed warrant, prompted the Freedom of the Press Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and dozens of other press and democratic rights organizations to send a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last October opposing Burke’s prosecution and the seizure of his equipment. The letter to Garland noted that the raid on Burke’s home was followed by the “August police raid of the Marion County Record based on allegations of computer crimes by its reporters.” The letter continued: “Given these and other investigations, journalists around the country are left uncertain about whether they could be prosecuted for acts of routine journalism on the mistaken grounds that they violated state or federal computer crime laws.” In the indictment, prosecutors allege that Burke and a “CONSPIRATOR 2” communicated over Twitter, with this second “conspirator” tipping off Burke to the fact that Fox News was publicly broadcasting a “live feed” online. Prosecutors allege that Burke “illegally” obtained the “live feed” footage by accessing the feed with “compromised credentials.” These credentials were apparently publicly available online as well. Burke previously worked at Deadspin and the Daily Beast and has posted several newsworthy videos to his Twitter/X account in the last decade that went viral, including a revealing video compilation exposing the corporate domination of television by media giant Sinclair Broadcasting
