Bannon's current attorney als represents Priebus (and maybe others). So, it makes sense that Mueller might not want that attorney present when he questions Bannon, so as to avoid giving him specific clues as to where Mueller's attention lies before he's ready for him to know.
It's also possible that it's a warning to Trump's other inner circle cabal that they could be subpoenaed, and also generally just to increase the heat.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE:
I suppose he could always be brought before a Grand Jury later. On the other hand, it still seems suspiciously like he might have been cooperating with Mueller, and the GJ subpoena was for show to the Trump cabal. Who knows?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, has agreed to be interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team about possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller formally subpoenaed Bannon last week to testify in front of a grand jury, a move some saw as a ploy by Mueller to push Bannon to speak to his investigators in private. And it seems that gamble paid off.
