Oh well. An Obama appointed judge said you can't see the Maxwell grand jury transcripts.
Grand jury secrecy isn’t absolute — there are limited exceptions where the court can authorize disclosure.
Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) (and similar state rules), grand jury materials can be released if one of these applies:
To prosecutors and investigators – Prosecutors and certain law enforcement officials directly involved in the case can access the materials to prepare charges or trial strategy.
To another grand jury – If a related grand jury investigation is underway, material can be shared between them.
By court order for “particularized need” – A judge can allow disclosure if someone shows a strong, specific reason that outweighs the need for secrecy (e.g., a defendant proving evidence is needed for their defense). This is often a high bar.
To government personnel assisting the prosecution – This can include analysts, interpreters, or agents working under the prosecutor’s direction.
When the material relates to foreign intelligence or counterintelligence – It can be disclosed to certain federal officials for national security purposes.
In connection with certain judicial proceedings – For example, if a civil case stems from the same facts as a criminal investigation, a judge might allow limited use of the material.
Even in these cases, courts usually impose protective orders limiting how, when, and to whom the information can be shared.
With this answer, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.
