The third paragraph from the end here: [Son of Sam law - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Sam_law) _In high-profile criminal cases and cases that are closely tied to national security, such as convictions for terrorism and espionage, a “Son of Sam clause” has been included in plea bargains. Examples include John Walker Lindh (an American who aided the Taliban in Afghanistan) and Harold James Nicholson (a Central Intelligence Agency officer who spied for Russia). As a result of their plea bargains, any and all profits made from book deals or movie rights would be handed over to the U.S. Treasury. Neither the convicts nor their families would be able to profit._ DOJ needs to start insisting on these in Jan. 6 plea deals. ---
