investigation? Seems to me he was in the thick of things early on in the Trump candidacy and presidency. How did he manage to keep his nose clean?

Usually people who have been determined to be targets and not just subjects are not subpoenaed by grand juries.

Not that he's very trustworthy.

Trump knew that he had Bannon's worldview with the racist dog whistles, why would he let Bannon in on more?

He is driven by pure hate. I can believe that he would have known nothing about Russian collusion because he was busy in his own space whipping up the racist right by his own means.

"Donald Trumps former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the presidents son and a group of Russians during the 2016 election campaign as treasonous and unpatriotic, according to an explosive new book seen by the Guardian.
Bannon, speaking to author Michael Wolff, warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin will focus on money laundering and predicted: Theyre going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV."
Bannon sees this sort of thing as a mistake, at least in print. He claims to have wanted no part in it. If true, he has little value other than his hearsay evidence. He maybe a non-traitorous evil doucebag.
