In search of understanding Bannon's next steps, I reached out to Josh Green, my friend and the author of "Devils' Bargain," the #1 New York Times bestselling book on Bannon and Trump. Josh is also a national correspondent at Bloomberg Businessweek and a CNN political analyst. Our conversation, conducted via email and lightly edited for flow, is below.
