This is on the bank fraud cases in civil NY state court, but the same will apply to his indictment by a grand jury, as early as tomorrow. See immediately prior post.
The level of… malevolent ignorance of US and NY criminal law and procedure on display in Tangerine’s legal team, daily now… is nothing short of breath-taking.
His lawyers are trying to subpoena grand jury members.
That will never happen — if for no other reason, than their own personal safety.
And about two centuries of black letter criminal law. So the NY AG says so, here:
…It is a foundation of the grand jury system that “[g]rand jury proceedings are secret.” CPL § 190.25(4)(a). This rule exists, in large part, to provide “assurance to prospective witnesses that their testimony will be kept secret so that they will be willing to testify freely.” People v. DiNapoli, 27 N.Y.2d 229, 235 (1970); Melendez v. City of New York, 109 A.D.2d 13, 17 (1st Dept. 1985). Likewise, “statements made by a witness to the District Attorney’s
Office are protected by the public interest privilege,” and “should be treated in the same manner as Grand Jury testimony for the purposes of disclosure.” Sanchez v. City of New York, 201 A.D.2d 325, 326 (1st Dept. 1994)….
Damn.
He’s coming… entirely unglued.
Out.
