And another thing... Why did this thing go on for more than an hour, most of which was refusing to answer questions due to grand jury secrecy? Curious.

Oh, and did any reporter ask him a single question about the leaks pouring out of his 'secret' grand jury process? Not that I caught.

yes; he answered that witnesses can give a press conference on the front steps of the courthouse if they want to; rules apply to prosecutor, staff and GJers.

Yes question came up about that and he said that if there had been any leaks from his staff or the grand jury itself there would be additional indictments made today. He pointed out that witnesses who appear before the grand jury are free to talk about what they said and what they were asked. Those on the prosecutors staff and the grand jury are forbidden to do so.

Why would this go on for an hour if the investigation was ongoing? I am reminded of the OJ prosecution team.
