Grand Jury 101
Let's have a crash course on "Grand Jury 101: What they are, what they do and what happens if you violate a subpoena?"
Only a Grand Jury can indict, meaning Robert Mueller cannot do it by himself. So the normal process is to conduct an informal interview, then request documents and potentially a Grand Jury hearing where a witness testifies (without the benefit of having an attorney in the room). The main reason a Grand Jury is assembled is to review evidence presented to determine if charges are probable. A grand jury has to power to secure a court order to subpoena evidence.
There are 2 kinds of Grand Jury subpoenas:
1. Subpoena ad testificandum – just testimony.
2. Subpoena duces tecum – testimony and evidence (ie documents)
