Sure that crossed my mind, I just can't quite believe that someone who managed to be a respected and powerful man like a Congressional Committee Chairman would willingly flush his whole reputation and probably career down the toilet just to give a Donald Trump a short, non-lasting break.
First in principle (I mean, there is loyalty and there is too much of that) - and because if that was indeed the plan, that would immediately make Nunes one of the dumbest politicians ever, and I have seen some gruesome stuff before. This doesn't sound right.

Since it's a Bannon thread (and only for that reason), maybe Bannon planned to further deconstruct things like trust in politics and Intelligence Committees and hence whispered something deceptive into Nunes' ear. Not that that sounds right.
