Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether systematic and pervasive government misconduct that violates Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) is structural error giving rise to a presumption of prejudice warranting dismissal of an indictment.
2. If the answer to the first question is no, whether a criminal defendant who makes a prima facie showing that the government has violated Rule 6(e) but necessarily lacks access to the information required to establish prejudice is entitled to discovery or an evidentiary hearing that would assist the district court in assessing prejudice and fashioning a remedy.
