How a Marriage of Convenience With Steve Bannon Exploded in My Face

This was the case during the 2016 primary, when I became the Jeb Bush campaign’s liaison to Bannon, kinda by default. I don’t think any of the other senior staff had ever talked to him, or if they had, they didn’t have much interest in doing so again. As a result, my “relationship” paid some internal dividends. It allowed me to get early intel on the content in his colleague Peter Schweizer’s upcoming anti-Jeb polemical e-book, Bush Bucks, which turned out to be a dud. It also gave me the ability to kneecap the candidates that I saw at the time as our rivals in the establishment “lane,” such that it was, when they would find themselves afoul of the Breitbart base.
