Dreeben is best known for having argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court a feat that fewer than 10 other attorneys have accomplished in the high court's history. Peers say his hiring reveals how seriously Mueller is taking the investigation, and how wide-ranging it ultimately could be.
"That Mueller has sought his assistance attests both to the seriousness of his effort and the depth of the intellectual bench he is building," Paul Rosenzweig, a former Homeland Security official and Whitewater investigator, wrote on the Lawfare blog.
Preet Bharara, who Trump fired as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, called Dreeben one of the DOJ's top legal and appellate minds in modern times:
Beyond possessing an "encyclopedic" knowledge of criminal law, lawyers who have worked with Dreeben say he also has a gift for anticipating questions his arguments will likely prompt, allowing him to prepare answers accordingly.
