You know when?
When I was going after a killer in Washington, D.C., and that person was also a target of a murder investigation in Virginia and in Maryland.
In order to further law enforcement efforts against a particular target of a grand jury investigation, you ask the court for permission to share your grand jury materials with other law enforcement agencies.
