These are the lawyers aiding Mueller in the Russia probe: Joining the prosecution team in June, Zebley had served as Mueller's chief of staff while he was FBI director. Before joining the special counsel's office, he was a partner at law firm WilmerHale, where he focused on cybersecurity issues.
Goldstein joins the Mueller team from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, where he was overseeing a separate investigation into former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's business and real estate dealings. Mueller has since taken over that investigation as well.

The grand jury has begun issuing subpoenas to businesses connected to Flynn and his colleagues.

Zebley served as chief of staff to Robert Mueller when Mueller was Director of the FBI and in 2014 followed Mueller to the law firm WilmerHale, where he served as partner for three years.

POTUS just referred to the folks under Mueller as "thugs." Well, here is one. Mueller's right-hand man, James Quarles. If Mr. Quarles is a thug, he's a 72-year old one, and he's changed dramatically from the polite gentleman I saw in the courtroom on several occasions. pic.twitter.com/50y2xlw3lA
