The Republican Party leadership wants Starr to deliver nothing until after the elections ( Shields ; George Will , This Week ; Gwen Ifill , NBC 's Meet The Press ; Tony Blankley , CNN 's Late Edition ; and David Bloom , Meet the Press ) . In fact , Orrin Hatch 's comments on the shows this week should be construed as signals from the GOP to Starr asking him to withhold a report , charges Bloom .
Lucky for the Republic Party leadership , Orrin Hatch avoided the shows this week .
