had advance notice of the operation but refrained from reporting on it, supposedly out of concern for the troops' safety (although I have to say, it seems like they never met a military operation they didn't love reporting on, and this one might not have happened had more people known what was planned).

So yes, there were probably a number of people who might have had inside info.

Trump's own behavior illustrates perfectly why profiting from inside info, whether you're the pres., a congresscritter, or whatever – should be illegal and prosecuted.
