POTUS TFR-busted

My PP friend and her CFII were on an instrument training flight under the hood, under vfr rules, no flight plan was filed and they apparently clipped a Presidential TFR. The inevitable 'call ATC' radio call was received. Neither the student or CFII invoked ASRS. Both are now subject to enforcement actions (suspensions). The flight was performed at the CFII's direction. She gave the navigational tasks to my friend who then executed such. Any ideas on why the PP should get nailed here? Isn't the CFII totally liable for this apparent goof? Although both pilots can log this time, isn't there actually only 1 PIC?
