[GRAND JUROR]: No, the Rabbi he is on the Board of the bank that I’m on and George Buckwald [ 2 ] who is going to be here and we are going to be hearing testimony from is on the Board of Directors. I don’t know if that will cause a conflict of interest. If you’re talking about indicting the Rabbi would that cause a problem? [PROSECUTOR]: Well, if it comes to a situation where you feel that you have to recuse yourself because of something like that is possible but rather than make a preliminary judgment on it ... you are entitled to hear this along with the other members of the Grand Jury. I think we can wait crossing that bridge.”
