Bannon Strikes A Deal With Mueller

As I mentioned yesterday, Mueller subpoenaed Steve Bannon in relation to the Russia investigation.

Democrats are hoping Bannon “sings like a canary,” especially in light of Bannon and Trump’s recent, very public falling out over comments in “Fire and Fury” that described Donald Trump Jr.’s meetings with Russian agents as “treasonous.”

Well… it looks like Bannon has struck a deal…

According to this:

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team rather than appearing before a grand jury, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing sources close to Bannon.

Ha. Of course CNN reported this first. They are GIDDY over it.

Bannon had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Mueller’s probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any ties with President Donald Trump’s campaign, according to a person familiar with the matter.

A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment on the CNN report. A lawyer who represented Bannon in an appearance before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday could not be immediately reached.

According to a person familiar with the arrangement, the attorney who represented Bannon for Tuesday’s House appearance, William Burck, is not representing him in connection with Mueller’s investigation. The person did not believe Bannon had hired a counsel for that yet.

Aaaaand the libs are dancing in the streets:

The inevitability of a Bannon plea deal – like Papadopoulos – and Bannon flipping on Trump, is coming into sharper focus. https://t.co/ET8r2RGomu

Annnnd Mueller is giving Bannon at least a mini-deal.

Hey, @realDonaldTrump. Ever heard the catchphrase “Bye, Felicia”? https://t.co/NZcwkXx6ku
