HamAss has been threatening RebelWannabe with all sorts of lawsuits if he speak ill about Il Lardo. The Subpoena immunizes Bannon against Trump.
Once again, well played by Field General Mueller!

(67,808 posts)The subpoena compiles Bannon to testify to the Feds. As a practical matter, he has to tell the truth, no matter what Trump wants him to say or not say.

(111,103 posts)Bannon was subpoenaed for one specific reason: His mention that Don Jr committed "treason".
Mueller has determined that he needs to be under oath to clarify those comments. If indeed, he does believe that, and has evidence to back it up, then the entire case takes a giant step forward.
Shit is about to get real.
