Bannon was at the right hand of Trump. Seems like a natural for Mueller to interview him. Do you think Bannon will be one of the last persons - before Trump himself - that Mueller will interview?

(6,336 posts)...otherwise, I think his primary interaction with Mueller will be as recipient of a multiple count indictment.
At least that's my current hope.

(51,567 posts)after I read that Hope Hicks is next. Bannon must know something or be involved in some way.

(38,414 posts)We don't know. We do know that Mueller wants iron clad indictments that will result in "convictions."

(1,679 posts)Why would he not? There would be no downside.
First, Bannon is at the center of everything, and they could pry out a few facts that might put Bannon or another Trumpkin in jeopardy.
Second, given the cooperating witness who probably taped conversations, along with the possibility that there are others we don't know about, there is a reasonable chance that they could catch Bannon in a lie. Or......he may be forced to take the fifth, which in the court of public opinion, would be significant.
There is no reason for declining to call Bannon to testify.

No reason Bannon will be exempted from questioning, especially with his close involvement with the cyber campaign involving Cambridge Analytica with possible coordination with Russian hacking and targeting of fake news, Brietbart etc.

....but the big fish will be caught last. I figure Bannon will flee the U.S., but I'm sure Meuller has that covered
