Two memos authored by the Office of Legal Counsel—one in 1973, in the midst of the Nixon impeachment saga, the other in 2000, on the heels of the Clinton impeachment saga—take the view that a sitting president is immune from indictment. By contrast, two different memos—authored by the Office of Special Counsel investigating Nixon, and the Office of Independent Counsel investigating Clinton—reach the opposite conclusion. https://www.lawfareblog.com/mueller-bound-olcs-memos-presidential-immunity

У Старра было своё мнение, но его перечеркнуло мнение Минюста, выпущенное в октябре 2000: https://www.justice.gov/file/19351/download
Из-за явных злоупотреблений закон о специальном прокуроре, по которому работал Старр, утратил силу. У Мюллера не было той же независимости - если бы он нарушил инструкцию, то поставил бы под удар правомочность своего назначения https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1663934.html?thread=60403902#t60403902
