Will Mueller Ever Interview Bannon?.....

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?

...otherwise, I think his primary interaction with Mueller will be as recipient of a multiple count indictment.

At least that's my current hope.

after I read that Hope Hicks is next. Bannon must know something or be involved in some way.

We don't know. We do know that Mueller wants iron clad indictments that will result in "convictions."

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.

Both past and present WH staff - Priebus and Spicer were already interviewed last month

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
