Are current DoJ lawyers former GITMO defense attorneys?

We know that the law firm AG Holder worked for provided many attorneys for GITMO inmates, focusing on Yemeni detainees who were (and are) numerous Jihadis. We also know that many members of his law firm went to DoJ. My question is: Are any of those new DoJ attorneys also the former attorneys for Yemenis now facing the DoJ? If so, wht conflicts arise? It seems to me that former defense attorneys should now be deciding whether to proceed with legal actions against their former GITMO clients.

I believe I saw this issue raised by Thomas Joscelyn at the Weekly Standard blog.
