Depending on how many influential people they can black mail already, it could be too late. A would be blackmailer isn't going to give up their method of control.

A would-be blackmailer isn't going to want competition. They've already got their material, and a law changing future exposure would have little to no effect on them, so get it while the getting's good, then close the door in the face of the next guy.
