Purely speculative piece by a long-time federal prosecutor, but it looks at three possible reasons Mueller has not subpoenaed Trump: (1) he's already got enough and doesn't need anything more from Trump, (2) doesn't want to deal with the protracted litigation a subpoena would entail, or (3) Trump has moved from being a subject to a target.
