I couldn't say even that this is true.
I had the President direct it specifically.
He was not to give a report from the Grand Jury.
I don't mean to tell you to do this, Jack Anderson, but that may taint this Grand Jury.
I don't mean to say that I have directed this, which is true.
I've told you to don't tell me anything from the Grand Jury.
