Welcome to Talking Feds, a prosecutor's round table that brings together some of the

best-known former Department of Justice officials for a dynamic discussion of the most pressing

legal topics of the day, including the Mueller probe and related investigations.

I'm Harry Littman.

I'm a former United States Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and also Assistant

United States Attorney or Line Prosecutor.

We are here in Washington, D.C. with three very experienced and knowledgeable and charming

former Department of Justice officials, Elliott Williams, Julie Zebrick, and Ellie Honegg.

Elliott was formerly a Deputy Assistant Attorney General for legislative affairs at the Justice

Department.

He is now a principal at the Raven Group, a national public affairs firm based in Washington,

but you had other jobs in government as well, Elliott.

You're right.

Yeah, I was a trial attorney at the Justice Department, and I was head of legislative affairs at ICE,

and also worked for the Senate Judiciary.

I just worked for government basically.

I just write, but I also worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee under Senator Schumer

for a while.

How long were you a Line Prosecutor?

Two and a half years as a Line Prosecutor, and then another three and a half May and

Justice at the end of the administration.

That would be Obama.
