What's this?

No, not "precisely 45 people and six journalists." "AT LEAST 45 people,

including [therefore also AT LEAST] 6 journalists." Which could have come from Pratt himself, or from journalists he told knowing likely other people he told and asking those people for confirmation if he'd told them, etc. Or from Pratt's attorney(s), or from others peripherally involved in different ways...but journalists do this thing where they talk to as many sources as they can find and cobble together the information. There are literally dozens of people who could have been the sources for the story besides Jack Smith & team.

And if you're mad about the possibility of someone (such as a prosecutor) illegally sharing information he's not allowed to tell other people, wait until I tell you about the possibility of a former President illegally sharing information he's not allowed to tell other people! I bet you'd be REALLY mad about that one! (Oh, wait.)
