His whole team is old pals who played the lobbyist game with him.
Robert Mueller left a $3.4 million partner job in the white-shoe law firm WilmerHale, where he worked for clients such as Facebook, Apple, Sony and the NFL, to serve as the special counsel.
Documents show that several lawyers on the team, particularly those who came from the private sector, left behind substantial salaries to work on the Russia case. James Quarles, who left WilmerHale with Mueller, drew more than $5.8 million from his partnership there. Jeannie Rhee, another partner, drew more than $2 million, and Aaron Zebley, who was Mueller's chief of staff at the FBI and also worked with him at WilmerHale, drew more than $1.4 million.
