Not sure which thread should house this bit, but was reading on one of the people that Mueller has picked.
Micheal Dreeben
Special counsel Robert Mueller has recruited the Justice Department’s top criminal law expert to help with his investigation of ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russian officials.
Deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben, who has argued more than 100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and oversees the Justice Department’s criminal appellate docket, will be assisting Mueller on a part-time basis, according to sources familiar with the arrangement.
While helping Mueller, Dreeben will continue in his role in the solicitor general’s office, with other lawyers in the office pitching in to help him with upcoming criminal cases.

Our records reflect that this was your 100th oral argument before the court. You are the second person to reach that rare milestone this century,” Chief Justice Roberts said. “I distinctly recall your first argument in January of 1989.
“Throughout your career,” he continued, “you have consistently advocated positions on behalf of the United States in an exemplary manner. On behalf of the court, I extend to you our appreciation for the many years of advocacy and dedicated service during your tenure in the solicitor general's office and as an officer of this court. We look forward to hearing from you many more times.”

FWIW.
From the commentary, seems like a heavy-duty pick.
