Quick web search provided the following, "In the modern federal system, grand juries do not investigate civil matters. In fact, it is an abuse of the grand jury process to use a federal grand jury to gather evidence for use in a civil proceeding. Federal grand juries concentrate on investigating and bringing charges for federal crimes." http://campus.udayton.edu/~grandjur/fedj/fedj.htm
The US Atorney would be pursuing a criminal cse, ot a civil case.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "civil" grand jury. The purpose of a grand jury is to determine if there is sufficient cause to file an indictment for criminal acts.
Could be a civil grand jury.
