Would you be surprised if Trump re-hired Bannon? [View all]

Sort of like the camel argument: Better to have him under your tent pissing out, than on the outside pissing in.

What's to prevent Bannon from taking "the 5th"?

This is a big move by Mueller. I think it must have somewhat surprised the White House with the speed with which Mueller made his move.
