30. "Additionally, it's entirely plausible for a federal prosecutor to...
"...obtain permission from a federal magistrate or a judge, have an indictment unsealed for the limited purpose of having parts of it read to a defendant and his or her attorneys in an attempt to have the defendant cooperate with an investigation to avoid facing further charges, legal experts said." - By Jason Leopold, t r u t h o u t. o r g

very well...

in a grand jury scenario, isn't a defendant considered 'uncooperative', where he is otherwise known, suspected, or thought to be known of a given legal/illegal circumstance via corroborated testimony elsewhere then considered to be obstructing justice? isn't that person then indicted for same? as was often the case in the clinton hearings? susan mcdougal as a for instance? cannot that person then 'do time', as did susan?

to what end is it then, to then wave a little piece of cheese beneath the nose of a corroborated to be, or a known mouse?

my sense is that this is not a game...at least imo
