I’m sorry but that just doesn’t make sense. If one testifies about the facts of the commission of a crime before a Grand Jury they can’t then publically state the same facts to any one else until released from his oath.

From the Federal Grand Jury Manual:

What Is Covered By Rule 6(e)

Rule 6(e) prohibits the disclosure of any information that would reveal "matters occurring before the grand jury." Rule 6(e) does not cover all information developed during the course of a grand jury investigation; only information that would reveal the strategy or direction of the investigation, the nature of the evidence produced before the grand jury, the views expressed by members of the grand jury, or anything else that actually occurred before the grand jury. Rule 6(e) does not apply to material obtained or created independently of the grand jury as long as the disclosure of such material does not reveal what transpired before or at the direction of the grand jury. Rule 6(e) also does not apply to information that has become a matter of public record, for example, by its introduction at trial.

It is only testimony before the grand jury that is covered. The same rule would apply to testimony before a church tribunal.

That explanation makes too much sense. Please don’t let it happen again.
