Bannon was involved in the Trump campaign-Stone communications. One of the biggest questions in the Mueller probe is whether Bannon is a target. If you know what Bannon was up to during and after the campaign with respect to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, that question answers itself.
2/ Bannon was of course also involved with Cambridge Analytica, and the Russian disinformation Erik Prince put out days before the election on Breitbart, and much else, but unless he has been Mueller's chief secret cooperating witness for 18 months, he remains in legal jeopardy.
3/ That said, Bannon being so *gleefully* the primary source for books like Fire and Fury suggests that either he's a fool (he isn't) or has so gregariously thrown Trump's campaign under the bus behind the scenes that he is indeed, also, one of Mueller's top investigative assets.
4/ You may recall that Bannon used outrageously false justifications to avoid speaking to Congress, but ultimately was questioned by federal prosecutors. That was so long ago, however, that it does *not* preclude the possibility that he's become a Mueller target in the meantime.
5/ I think people sometimes wrongly conflate being willing to speak to federal prosecutors to being a cooperating witness who's been granted some kind of immunity and has therefore spilled his guts to the government. We don't yet know the *character* of the questioning of Bannon.
