No, I believe he's suggesting that if the prosecutor wants an indictment, then witnesses will be called which support the prosecutor's wishes. If the prosecutor wants no true bill, then he'll act accordingly.
It isn't an adversarial process. The prosecutor controls the process.
I'll note that the prosecutor doesn't *require* a grand jury indictment to pursue a conviction, though it helps.
If you care about transparency and the adversarial process, grand juries are a pretty shitty way to accomplish that.
