However like any legal battle a prosecutor can’t just up and ask for anyone’s records for no reason (Gee...I just want to see)

Actually, he can.

A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1991 (United States v. R Enterprises) held that "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."
