Mueller, several team members gave up million-dollar jobs to work on special counsel investigation

several lawyers on the team, particularly those who came from the private sector, left behind substantial salaries to work on the Russia case. James L. Quarles III, 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.

trump may convince the 25% bottom of his base that it's a witch hunt, but most sane people will know better.

It's not really germane to this story, but I only recently learned Robert Mueller III was nicknamed "Bobby Three Sticks," in reference to his name's suffix.
