MBB -> politics/government

Hey everyone, 

currently at one of the mbb and starting my MBA next year, and I was wondering if people left at the associate partner/partner level to go into politics or high level government work. If so, what level of positions did they get and what can I do now to get in position to exit when the time comes.
