He can try to keep the FBI informant from testifying about Uranium One if he can link these people to his case.

How does a Federal prosecutor prevent a witness in his case from speaking freely to anyone that witness damn well pleases?

Grand jury proceedings are supposed to be shielded in secrecy by the prosecutor and the jurors, but doesn't the First Amendment protect a witness who wants to run around selling a story to the news media?

Easy.

Mr. Judge/Congressman, “Their testimony many jeopardize my criminal investigation”.

Therefore, it would not be appropriate for them to disclose any information before my case is completed”.
