What the Waco investigation can tell us about the Mueller report

The only existing direct comparison to Mueller dates back to 1999, when Attorney General Janet Reno named a special counsel to investigate the deadly Waco standoff and allegations of a government cover-up. It worked under the same rules as Mueller.

But those prosecutors didn't wait around for Justice Department higher-ups to examine their final product. They posted their full report directly onto the burgeoning Internet, along with hundreds of pages of detailed exhibits and timelines. In interviews with CNN, former special counsel Jack Danforth and his deputy encouraged Barr to follow their lead when it comes to transparency.

"Mueller was given a specific charge (to investigation Russian meddling), not to just investigate whatever he wants," Danforth said. "Let's leave no doubt in the public's mind what his findings are on that charge. But if it's getting into stuff unrelated to that charge and matters where he doesn't have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, my impression is that shouldn't go public."
