For daring to speak with people who Mueller wanted to call as witnesses.

The legal term for that is witness tampering.

This is shocking.

Not so much, no.

I don’t think you can be stopped from talking with a witness. The prosecution can introduce the evidence at trial if they think it indicates a guilty mind. You can’t make an improper request for a witness to lie, but no one could prepare their case if they can’t talk to witnesses. Unless a court order forbad it.
