Special Counsel Robert Mueller has assembled a team of more than a dozen seasoned prosecutors to probe Russian interference in the 2016 election, including any potential collusion between Russian agents and members of Donald Trumps campaign.
In addition to a squad of agents from the FBI and the IRS, Mueller has 16 attorneys on staff, a spokesperson for Special Counsel Robert Mueller confirmed to ABC News, but only 14 of them have been identified publicly.
These 14 attorneys are confirmed members of Muellers team:
Zainab Ahmad is an attorney on detail from the Eastern District of New York. Ahmad made a name for herself prosecuting terrorist suspects in New York, including Lawal Babafemi and Najibullah Zazi, the would-be al-Qaeda subway bomber. The authorities initially tracked down Zazi by following information from Ahmads prosecution of Abid Naseer, a Pakistani man who had been plotting an attack on a shopping center in the United Kingdom. Before leaving EDNY, Zainab also attained the position of Deputy Chief at their National Security and Cybercrime Section.

I remember the disappointment of "Fitzmas", and sure hope we aren't headed for a repeat.

(7,017 posts)Can't people be arrested and charged? They have to have the goods on some of these guys by now. Pull them in charge them and let them out on bail while they build the case. Might scare the do-do out of some higher ups. I know I watch too much TV.

The evidence is embarrassingly 'out in the open', and written in Cyrillic.
