There are no specific, detailed rules for Mueller to follow.
If Mueller were to apply the 60-Day Rule, he would basically do what Starr did and try to lay low after Labor Day.
"My guess is that Bob Mueller is intent upon not repeating the very same actions that have caused Jim Comey so much well-deserved criticism," says Ratcliffe.
Whatever Mueller does will not stop his investigation from being a factor in the voting.
Trump misses no opportunity to denounce Mueller as biased and the investigation as a "Witch hunt." Which leads to the question of whether anyone thinks the president will observe the 60-Day Rule himself and refrain from criticizing Mueller before the election? Not a chance, especially when Trump's attacks have taken a toll on public opinion of the probe and of Mueller himself.
Ratcliffe might be on to something when he suggests that the Comey experience is an example Mueller will dearly want to avoid repeating.
"In my opinion, Mueller will either try to clear Donald Trump as a target by Labor Day, or will throttle down any further public actions by the special counsel until after Nov. 6," Ratcliffe says.
