   system. It is an investigatory body charged with the responsibility of   
   determining whether or not a crime has been committed. Unlike this Court,   
   whose jurisdiction is predicated    
   on a specific case or controversy, the grand jury "can investigate merely on   
   suspicion that the law is being violated, or even just because it wants   
   assurance that it is not." United States v. Morton Salt Co., 338 U. S. 632,   
   338 U. S. 642-643 (1950). The    
   function of the grand jury is to inquire into all information that might   
   possibly bear on its investigation until it has identified an offense or has   
   satisfied itself that none has occurred. As a necessary consequence of its   
   investigatory function, the    
   grand jury paints with a broad brush.

   every available clue has been run down and all witnesses examined in every   
   proper way to find if a crime has been committed.'"    
   > > > > > > >    
   > > > > > > > In short, the Government cannot be required to justify the   
   issuance of a grand jury subpoena by presenting evidence sufficient to   
   establish probable cause, because the very purpose of requesting the   
   information is to ascertain whether    
   probable cause exists    
   > > > > > > >    
   > > > > > > > This Court has emphasized on numerous occasions that many of the   
   rules and restrictions that apply at a trial do not apply in grand jury   
   proceedings. This is especially true of evidentiary restrictions. The same   
   rules that, in an adversary    
   hearing on the merits, may increase the likelihood of accurate determinations   
   of guilt or innocence do not necessarily advance the mission of a grand jury,   
   whose task is to conduct an ex parte investigation to determine whether or not   
   there is probable    
   cause to prosecute a particular defendant.

   > > > > > > > Requiring the Government to explain in too much detail the   
   particular reasons underlying a subpoena threatens to compromise "the   
   indispensable secrecy of grand jury proceedings." United States v. Johnson,   
   319 U. S. 503, 319 U. S. 513 (1943).

   414 U.S. at 414 U. S. 346, and n. 4. Grand juries are not licensed to engage   
   in arbitrary fishing    
   expeditions, nor may they select targets of investigation out of malice or an   
   intent to harass.

   Calandra, 414 U. S. 338, 414 U. S. 346,   
    n. 4 (1974). This rule requires the district court to balance the burden of   
   compliance

   easonableness, one that gives due weight to the difficult position of subpoena   
   recipients but does not impair the strong governmental interests in affording   
   grand juries wide latitude,    
   avoiding minitrials on peripheral matters, and preserving a necessary level of   
   secrecy
