The @rcfp (Reporters' Committee on Freedom of the Press) will not like today's decision in #McKeevervBarr. "Because the district court has no authority outside Rule 6(e) to disclose grand jury matter, the order of the district court denying McKeever’s petition is Affirmed."
The #McKeever decision rejects the notion that a federal district court can devise new reasons for grand jury disclosures, and binds those courts to the federal rules of criminal procedure. You can read the appeals court's decision here: cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…
