learned a new term today: "misprision of a felony" (on Stephanie miller's show w/ glenn kirschner
"Misprision of felony" is a crime that occurs when someone knows a felony has been committed but fails to inform the authorities about it. The crime originated in English common law and required that citizens report crimes or face criminal prosecution. (Common law is law originating from custom and court decisions rather than statutes.)

kirschner posted a youtube video on this yesterday (regarding kevin mccarthy, trump, etc)
on the radio show he also mentioned various authors who saved their knowledge of a crime in order to put it in their book for profit
