He then briefly served as deputy director of the Enforcement Division of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before joining DOJ's Public Integrity Section in 1980.[3]
While in the Public Integrity Section, Jarrett prosecuted the chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party for insurance mail fraud,[4] a Mississippi sheriff for drug trafficking, and CIA agents for theft of government funds.[1]
In 1988, Jarrett became chief of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Columbia under U.S. Attorney Jay B. Stephens. There he supervised the prosecutions of drug trafficker Rayful Edmond, U.S. Representative Dan Rostenkowski, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, as well as a group of twelve corrupt D.C. Metropolitan Police officers.[1]

On February 22, 2008, Jarrett announced an investigation of DOJ legal memoranda by John Yoo, Jay Bybee, Steven G. Bradbury, and others justifying waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.[6] On February 19, 2010, Associate Deputy Attorney General David Margolis issued a memorandum for the attorney general in which he refused both to adopt the OPR's findings of misconduct and to authorize the OPR to recommend to state bar authorities disciplinary actions against Yoo and Bybee.[7]
