Grand juries are secret. Whether or not one is convened, when, where, who, what they are examining, the outcome, all of that is secret. Why would we believe anything that is said publicly about the existence or non-existence or work of a grand jury?

I believe the work is being done in secret and may have been ongoing for a long time. Truly, we have no way to know.

Sara is wonderful but she says what she is given clearance to say. In other words, the words that the plan calls for at this time.

Grand Jury Secrecy

 

The key rule governing grand jury secrecy is Rule 6(e).

 

It first says:

 

no obligation of secrecy may be imposed on any person except in accordance with Rule 6(e)(2)(B).

 

Rule 6(e)(2)(B) reads:

 

[T]he following persons must not disclose a matter occurring before the grand jury:

 

(i) a grand juror;

 

(ii) an interpreter;

 

(iii) a court reporter;

 

(iv) an operator of a recording device;

 

(v) a person who transcribes recorded testimony;

 

(vi) an attorney for the government; or

 

(vii) a person to whom disclosure is made under Rule 6(e)(3)(A)(ii) or (iii). [Note: these sections cover disclosure made to certain government officials.]

 

So, the prosecutor, the jurors and the court reporter may not disclose what happens in a grand jury.

 

The witnesses who testify before a grand jury, however, are under no obligation of secrecy.

 

This is important because the prosecutor will often ask witnesses to keep confidential what was said during the grand jury proceedings. The prosecutor may make this “request” in a way that makes it sound like an obligation. But it’s not. If you are a witness and you testify before a grand jury, you can tell anyone about what you said and what you heard during the grand jury, including the target.

 

Rule 6(e) goes on to list a handful of exceptions where disclosure is appropriate, including when the court authorizes the disclosure, when a valid petition is filed, and when attorneys for the government disclose the information in certain limited circumstances.

 

A leading treatise outlines six reasons for grand jury secrecy:

 

(1) To prevent the escape of those whose indictment may be contemplated;

 

(2) to insure the utmost freedom to the grand jury in its deliberations, and to prevent persons subject to indictment or their friends from importuning the grand jurors;

 

(3) to prevent subornation of perjury or tampering with the witnesses who may testify before the grand jury and later appear at the trial of those indicted by it;

 

(4) to encourage free and untrammeled disclosures by persons who have information with respect to the commission of crimes;

 

(5) to protect the innocent accused who is exonerated from disclosure of the fact that he has been under investigation, and from the expense of standing trial where there was no probability of guilt.
