They need to convince someone, say a judge, to issue the subpoena/warrant.
- eli 14y agoI agree. But I think that's a big part of why this case interests people.
- dedward 14y agoThe prosecutors have to convince a grand jury to issue an indictment. That's what the initial investigation is about. They may not have the duty to disclose, however, the warrant/subpoena has to be specific, and what IS scary is the idea that those served can be put under a gag order not to talk about it. For big RICO cases it made sense, but for smaller ones that's an abuse.
