Prometheus 6

His name is Gregory Craig.

Craig was a foreign policy adviser to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. He has defended high-profile clients, including John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, and Kennedy nephew William Kennedy Smith, who was accused of rape.

But it was his defense of Clinton on the floor of the U.S. Senate during the impeachment trial that vaulted the 63-year-old lawyer to prominence.

As White House counsel, Craig will be responsible for steering the new president through a series of legal thickets that have become controversial during the past eight years, including torture policy and the legal disposition of prisoners at Guantanamo.

I never heard of him, of course. I didn't watch the Clinton impeachment hearings. I thought they were absurd, and a waste of everyone's time.

Based on the quote though, between the foreign policy decisions and the fact that he seems to defend guys that did what they were accused of, it seems he's a practical choice.
