[quote]WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, was subpoenaed last week by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, to testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into possible links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
The move marked the first time Mr. Mueller is known to have used a grand jury subpoena to seek information from a member of Mr. Trump’s inner circle. The special counsel’s office has used subpoenas before to seek information on Mr. Trump’s associates and their possible ties to Russia or other foreign governments.
The subpoena could be a negotiating tactic. Mr. Mueller is likely to allow Mr. Bannon to forgo the grand jury appearance if he agrees to instead be questioned by investigators in the less formal setting of the special counsel’s offices about ties between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia and about the president’s conduct in office, according to the person, who would not be named discussing the case. But it was not clear why Mr. Mueller treated Mr. Bannon differently than the dozen administration officials who were interviewed in the final months of last year and were never served with a subpoena.
The subpoena is a sign that Mr. Bannon is not personally the focus of the investigation. Justice Department rules allow prosecutors to subpoena to the targets of investigations only in rare circumstances.[/quote]
Look like Drumpf's right hand man is headed to court.
He's got nothing to lose as well. He just lost his job at Breitbart. We can hopefully expect him to divulge the truth to finally put Orange Man Baby behind bars.

I doubt anything will pop up with Bannon that will get Trump impeached.

We’ll see what he has to say. If it’s proven Trump knowingly worked/attempted to work with Russia to win the election, I’d want him gone. We can’t let foreign adversaries interfere with our elections. We need to send a message that we won’t tolerate this. It’s unfortunate that Trump has been so unwilling to do anything against Russia so far, despite the information uncovered by our intelligence agencies.

Another step towards impeachment.
