You're confusing subpoenas with indictments. Mueller has a few time asked for blank subpoenas from the court. This is the customary practice for subpoenas to be issued, they're basically a form letter to demand testimony and/or records, they are not an accusation of an offense. An indictment is a specific accusation of specified offenses, they are not fill-in-the-blank documents.
