Ex-Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon agrees to meet with Robert Mueller | Fox News
That's right and the latest news indicates Mueller will allow Bannon to be interviewed in a more private setting. Bannon will spill the beans. Trump administration is up in smoke.

Fair point, I should have worded it differently. But Mueller's pressure on Bannon with a formal grand jury subpoena definitely lit a fire under his behind. Interested to see how it plays out and what Bannon has to say.

The subpoena was just for headlines, just like the swat team raid on Manafort's house.

Every indication is this is over, the Russian collusion story will soon be proven false. We're already starting to see the media hinting at the idea that there was no collusion, and that the FBI was duped by the Russians.

You're confused.

It was tRump saying that. But it was reported by the meida that he did.

Of course, he is a stable genius.

The media reported on that statement, too.

If that is the case, it will be the biggest win for Trump since becoming president. CNN anchors' heads will explode.

No, several reporters have already started saying that this was likely a Russian misinformation operation, there was no collusion, the FBI was duped.

One of the reporters saying this was Scott Shane, a NYT reporter.

If Donnie attacks Trump on Twitter, he will do himself no favors. Bannon is already pissed at him.

Bannon has legal training, and knows the penalties for perjury. He is going to pump himself dry for Mueller and tell the truth, because he knows he may have to repeat the stories later without discrepancies.

Subpoenas are not issued to make headlines, nor are the generated as a practical joke. The Trump Team is in serious hot water. Bannon's only intelligent move under oath is to tell the truth. If he doesn't, he is going to have big problems himself.

Did they just ask Bannon to come in?

There was absolutely no reason to SWAT team raid Manafort's house, this was a white collar crime, and Manafort, and his legal team were fully cooperating.

Mueller is desperate, he has been the entire time because he know there was no collusion, so he pulls these stunts every time his investigation is facing serious push back.
