James Quarles, James Quarles lawyer,

 

James Quarles has plenty of experience with political investigations, as he begin his career by working on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force. According to Wired, during the Watergate investigation, he focused on campaign finance research.

 

“There is nothing comparable to the kind of pressure and obligation that this kind of job puts on your shoulders,” Richard Ben-Veniste, a lawyer who served as a special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal, told CNN. “Having been there before, gives [Quarles] the confidence to know how to do it and how to do it right.”

 

In addition, Quarles is a partner at the law firm WilmerHale, where he has worked since 1975. This is the law firm where Robert Mueller also previously worked. After Quarles was presented with an award in 2007, his colleague, Partner William Lee, said that Quarles “represents precisely the values that should define us culturally and reputationally: he is an excellent lawyer, he is an extraordinary hard worker, he is the ultimate team player, he treats everyone with respect and collegiality. He always, always puts the firm first and himself second.”

 

According to Find Law, Quarles has particularly focused on issues of intellectual property litigation. He has argued before the United States Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals for the Federal, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth and District of Columbia Circuits.

 

James Quarles has donated over $30,000 to Democrats over the years, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, according to Open Secrets.

Michael Dreeben is the current deputy solicitor general in charge of the Department of Justice’s criminal docket before the Supreme Court. He has worked in the Solicitor General’s office since the late 1980s, and he is considered to be an expert in criminal law, having argued over 100 cases before the Supreme Court.

 

According to The Washington Post, Dreeben is “highly respected by Democrats and Republicans because of his encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law.”

 

“Michael is the most brilliant and most knowledgeable federal criminal lawyer in America — period,” Walter Dellinger, a law professor at Duke University School of Law and former acting solicitor general, told The Washington Post. “I learned early on in my time as acting [solicitor general] that there was no point of ever thinking of second-guessing Michael on a matter of federal criminal law, because he just knew more than I did or could ever know. He’s a straight shooter and is held in the greatest esteem by the FBI and lawyers in U.S. attorneys offices all over the country.”

 

Some in the conservative media have accused Michael Dreeben of donating to Democrats, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But this is actually not the case; that Democratic donor is a different person also named Michael Dreeben, according to Slate. There is no relation.

 

Dreeben is expected to continue overseeing the Department of Justice’s appellate cases while he works on the Russia probe.
