In reading through this post, I was wondering if the people on the grand jury could be military people?
Maybe one of the meanings of "military is the only way"?
It's been kept so quiet and nothing has leaked and I was wondering if it's because the grand juries were comprised of military members or does it have to be a jury of "your peers"...meaning civilians?
I don’t know, but I reason that Grand Jury members do NOT have to be a “jury of your peers” because they aren’t actually pert of your trial. The Grand Jury can’t convict you, they can only decide that there is enough evidence to indict you. From there, it would go to trial, where you have a chance to defend yourself in front of a “jury or your peers”.
Thanks for this information.

Does anyone know?

Yes, this makes sense.
