The brightest and the best
The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, a top aide to Kenneth Starr during his time as the Independent Counsel in the Clinton investigations, led me to come up with a partial list of alumni of that office and the public service jobs they hold or have held since:
Brett Kavanaugh -- DC Circuit judge and Staff Secretary to the President;
Steve Colloton -- US Attorney in Iowa; 8th Circuit judge
Amy St. Eve -- federal district judge, N.D. Ill.
Rod Rosenstein -- Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Tax Division, then US Attorney, D. Md.
Karen Immergut -- US Attorney, D. Oregon
John Bates -- federal district judge, D.D.C.
Bill Duffey -- US attorney for the N.D. Ga.; federal district judge, N.D. Ga.
Kevin Martin -- Commissioner, then Chairman -- FCC
Bill Kelly -- Deputy White House Counsel
Eric Dreiband -- General Counsel of the EEOC
Julie Myers -- Deputy Assistant Secretary of Treasury, Chief of Staff, Criminal Division, US DOJ; Assistant Secretary of Commerce; Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security.
Other alums have gone on to become partners at top law firms, law professors, or high ranking corporate counsel.
