Jeannie Rhee's inclusion on Mueller's staff has been one of the more controversial selections. Rhee (Yale '97) was a partner at WilmerHale, the same firm as Mueller, which both left to work for the SCO. Mueller's detractors have raised concerns about Rhee in recent weeks, but CNN reported as early as June that Rhee was the second-largest political donor at the SCO at the time, giving in excess of $16,000 since 2008, exclusively to Democratic campaigns, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Rhee has also represented the lawsuits against the Clinton Foundation and against Clinton herself over emails. Rhee previously served two stints as a government attorney. From 2000-06 she worked as assistant U.S. attorney in D.C. and later worked in the Obama Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel under the attorney general. Rhee's experience came in handy in private practice at WilmerHale where she advised "clients who are the subject of government investigations, including white-collar criminal investigations[.]"
