Rule 6. The Grand Jury (2) Secrecy. (A) No obligation of secrecy may be imposed on any person except in accordance with Rule 6(e)(2)(B). (B) Unless these rules provide otherwise, the 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). 2. THE RULE DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY OBLIGATION OF SECRECTY ON WITNESSES. The existing practice on this point varies among the districts. The seal of secrecy on witnesses seems an Unnecessary Hardship and may lead to INJUSTICE if a witness is not permitted to make a disclosure to counsel or to an associate.
