Even assuming the defendant could prove that the government violated the Fourth Amendment or attorney-client privilege in its grand jury presentation (and to be clear, he cannot), the remedy would be to suppress that evidence at trial-not to dismiss the indictment. So, the defendant has not shown that "a ground may exist to dismiss the indictment because of a matter that occurred before the grand jury." Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E)(ii). He is not entitled to access grand jury material.

DOJ Fails To Indict D.C. Sandwich Thrower, Fate Of Ham Sandwich Still Unknown - Above the Law

It's a long standing joke that the standard of proof for a grand jury (where only the government has an opportunity to present evidence) is so low that prosecutors could secure an indictment against a ham sandwich. It's not a particularly funny joke, mind you, but it is widely known in the legal profession. What *is* funny as hell is that the Department of Justice has failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich.
