Mueller report

[El Correcto]

Grand juries in the United States - Wikipedia
SecrecyEdit
Grand jury proceedings are secret. No judge is present; the proceedings are led by a prosecutor;[15]and the defendant has no right to present his case or (in many instances) to be informed of the proceedings at all. While court reporters usually transcribe the proceedings, the records are sealed. The case for such secrecy was unanimously upheld by the Burger Court in Douglas Oil Co. of Cal. v. Petrol Stops Northwest, 441 US 211 (1979).[16][17] The dissenting opinion was joined by Justices Burger and Stewart but concurred with the Court's opinion as to the importance and rationale of grand jury secrecy. Writing for the Court, Justice Powell found that "if preindictment proceedings were made public, many prospective witnesses would be hesitant to come forward voluntarily"; "witnesses who appeared before the grand jury would be less likely to testify fully and frankly"; and "there also would be the risk that those about to be indicted would flee, or would try to influence individual grand jurors". Further, "persons who are accused but exonerated by the grand jury [should] not be held up to public ridicule".[16]

United States v. Procter & Gamble Co., 356 US 677 (1958), permitted the disclosure of grand jury transcripts under certain restrictions: "a private party seeking to obtain grand jury transcripts must demonstrate that 'without the transcript a defense would be greatly prejudiced or that without reference to it an injustice would be done'" and must make its requests "with particularity".[16] Further, First Amendment protections generally permit the witnesses summoned by a grand jury to discuss their testimony, although Dennis v. United States, 384 US855 (1966), found that such public discussion permits release of the transcripts of their actual testimony.[16]

The Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3500, requires the government to disclose to the defense any statements made by the accused to the grand jury, and, with respect to non-party witnesses, that after a witness has testified on direct examination at trial, any statement made to the grand jury by such witness be disclosed to the defense.

I have no problem with Democrats going through the legal process of getting the mueller report released to the public, I also have no problem with the judge laughing them out of the chamber.

And ... the more the legislature demands it, the less likely the judicial branch to comply with the request.

Because @MAKAVELI isn’t convinced the president of the United States isn’t a Russian Manchurian candidate.

Just the racist fake veterans.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Cool copy/paste. But that doesn’t explain why a judge would allow for grand jury information to remain unredacted in a report. To expedite a report’s release is not a sufficient reason to do so.

Chill, dude. Mak-attack is working on his mail order law degree.

If you can’t trust the man handpicked by the defendant that wrote a memo coming to a conclusion before seeing the evidence, who can you trust?

Barr's in some now that it's known Mueller's team produced summaries of report sections that are suitable for immediate public distribution.

Barr's in some now that it's known Mueller's team produced summaries of report sections that are suitable for immediate public distribution.

Maybe not. Alleged summaries reported from anonymous sources (from someone who heard someone else hear something) and every page of the report needs parts redacted. Not known to exist at all.

 

[Box Ox]

every page of the report needs parts redacted

My understanding is that every page of the Report has a header or footer with a standard disclaimer that it might contain sensitive grand jury information. Doesn't mean every page does. But it provides a convenient excuse for Barr to drag his feet on the whole report.

Report should be out next week. Hardly foot dragging for a 400 page report.
