McCord is married to Sheldon Snook, who also worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. In fact, it was McCord who got her husband his job as administrative assistant and court liaison to the public and news media by recommending him to Judge Hogan. Snook also served as spokesman for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He currently works in a similar capacity for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Snook toasted his wife, Mary McCord, as “one of the best lawyers that comes into this court” and thanked her for her support throughout. McCord has been a rising star in Washington’s U.S. attorney’s office, moving from appellate and child sex crimes prosecutions to become the office’s chief of all criminal prosecutions. This year, she joined the Justice Department as a top leader over national security prosecutions.Hogan recalled agreeing to hire Snook after McCord, his former law clerk, suggested her husband for the job. “I thought, ‘Well . . . if you can recommend him after 12 years of marriage, that’s pretty good,’ ” Hogan joked.

I was looking for more on “Shelly” Snook, I found this. The rest of the story is behind the paywall. https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-37348119.html
“The well-respected public face of Washington’s federal court is saying goodbye to his job of the past 12 years and leaving for a similar job at the Supreme Court.
Sheldon Snook, the longtime administrative assistant for the U.S. District Court and court liaison to the public and news media, was hailed at a farewell reception Thursday afternoon as a trusted confidante of dozens of judges and the linchpin in making the court’s high-profile trials open to the public. Among those on hand to praise his talents were numerous federal judges, court staff members, federal prosecutors, public defenders and reporters from several news organizations.”
Hmmm “LINCHPIN”. I am a little more worried about Chief Justice Roberts now.
