🧵1/The DOJ’s incessant leaks of grand jury material (Trump/MAL, Save America PAC) are not just sleazy and dishonest — they violate Fed.R.Crim.P 6(e)(2) re GJ secrecy. An aggrieved party may make a motion to the court for contempt sanctions, force gov’t to rebut prime facie case.
2/This leaking by the DOJ (res ipsa loquitur) is also criminal obstruction of justice, & may be punished as such. See, e.g., United States v. Brenson, 104 F.3d 1267, 1276 (11th Cir. 1997) (internal citations omitted). This would, of course, require a less biased AG to pursue it.
3/ While the aggrieved party may make a motion, the federal court itself with jurisdiction over the leaky DOJ attorneys could, sua sponte, order a hearing on contempt and injunctive relief for the obvious DOJ misconduct.
