““Discovery rights such as inspection of grand jury minutes are not of constitutional origin and they represent exceptions to the general rule concerning discovery in criminal cases. Corbett v. Patterson, D.Colo. 1967, 272 F.Supp. 602, 609 . There has been no hint in Supreme Court cases that this procedure of disclosing grand jury minutes was thought to be compelled by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. United States ex rel. Bund v. Lavallee, 2 Cir. 1965, 344 F.2d 313, 315 .””
