And nothing legal is quick and instant, we all need to understand that rather than go off hair afire.

Of course a witness appearing before them can talk about to some extent, but the testimony is sealed.

Not a lawyer but that is what I have seen in the past. We only know about the nys grand jury because cohen talked about it. And we assume the feds must have one in the isurection cases because they said indictments are coming.
