re durham grand jury

a grand jury is NOT required

it is the most common method but there is another

the "information"

Like an indictment, an information is a formal charging document that describes the criminal charges against a person and the factual basis for those charges. Unlike an indictment, however, an information does not require a grand jury’s vote. Instead, the information is presented to a judicial officer, usually a magistrate judge, who examines the information and decides whether there is probable cause that a crime occurred.

A complaint is simply a statement of the essential facts of the offense to be charged, made under oath by a law enforcement official. The purpose of the complaint is to establish probable cause, which will allow an arrest warrant to issue.

they can do the GJ later = no leaks

Most federal white collar criminal offenses are felonies, and thus require an indictment under the Constitution. But some white collar cases – even the felonies – can begin with an information or a complaint. For example, a complaint or an information can be filed much more quickly than an indictment can be obtained from a grand jury. So, if prosecutors need to move quickly in making an arrest, they may file a complaint or information. After the defendant is arrested, the government will have to go to a grand jury and obtain an indictment, unless the defendant chooses to waive that requirement and proceed by information. A felony case cannot go forward on the basis of a complaint alone.
