CONCLUSION
The subpoena power of the Grand Jury is broad, but it is not absolute. If it
were, the Supreme Court could simply say so, which it has not. Given the low need
for the subpoenaed information and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure
of the same, the Subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed pursuant to Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(a)(2).
Based on the foregoing, Fulton County's Motion to Quash Grandy Jury
Subpoena [Doc. 1] is GRANTED and the United States of America's Cross-Motion
27
Case 1:26-cv-02777-WMR
Document 37 Filed 07/07/26
Page 28 of 28
to Enforce Grand Jury Subpoena [Doc. 10] is DENIED. Accordingly, the Subpoena
(Subpoena No. 2026R00350-01) [Doc. 1-1] is QUASHED and Fulton County is
under no obligation to comply. Fulton County's request [Doc. 34] for access to the
materials included in United States' Motion for In Camera Review [Doc. 32] is
TERMINATED AS MOOT. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED TO
TERMINATE this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of July, 2026.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreiholf3kjsyw4q4rqgcoij2w52etvzzlc6lpucgg7wddh3k3lnrcfy)
