    The prosecutor, if they want, can get an indictment out of a GJ.

    The prosecutor can present evidence to the GJ selectively. They can’t just demand the GJ issue an indictment. If there’s not enough selectively revealed evidence to convince a GJ, the case is almost certainly too weak to survive trial.
