"Well, he really elaborated on what the guiding principles were and what he told the special grand jurors they could share. He made it clear that they are allowed to share what witnesses said to them, what they decided to put in the final report.
So even if Emily Kohrs had come out and said explicitly, these are the names of the people we referred for criminal indictment, she still would have been within the bounds of what the special grand jurors are allowed to share. But what they were not allowed to share are the deliberations. So essentially, anything that went on, you know, she was talking to other special grand jurors without the witnesses in the room, without prosecutors in the room".

One surprising thing I found out that I didn't know before is that this was a "special investigative grand jury" that was formed by the prosecutor. It makes recommendations to the prosecutor, but doesn't have the power to issue indictments. Those have to come from a separate "charging grand jury" (the one that we normally think of when we think "grand jury") in Georgia.
