"There's got to be a treaty of peace between the networks, the platforms that says, 'We're going to leave [Mueller] alone'," Starr told Mark Levin of Fox News.
Starr warned Mueller against besmirching people in his report or via press release, adding that it is a matter of "fundamental fairness" that a special counsel not display prosecutorial zeal in any public statements because the other side hasn't had a chance to present an alternate set of facts.
The former special counsel rebutted Rep. Adam Shiff on Shiff's threat to seek a court order to obtain the Mueller report. Starr explained that when he was special counsel, he operated under a different statute, one that required the report to be turned over to Congress. Mueller's authority, Starr said, comes under a different statute, with Justice Department regulations -- which have been in place for 20 years -- governing the way reports are handled.
Levin pointed out that Democrats' assumptions that they will see the report are not grounded on law or regulation, and Starr agreed.
