No. Laws are written and enacted by the legislature. There is no reason they cannot pass a law carving out exceptions to the rules, e.g. for the Mueller report. Ultimately it will be decided by the courts.
It IS a crime to leak grand jury or national security info to the media without special authorization... but it happens all the time, and hardly anyone gets prosecuted for it.

We have a Law on the books. It was passed by both Houses and signed into Law. The Democrats are attempting to compell the AG to break that Law.
If it is a matter of saying "fuck it, nobody cares about Laws", then they should just come out and say it.
Then empty the jails.
