There are two meetings people are discussing:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-michael-flynn-fethullah-gulen-20170325-story.html - September
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/3/25/1647289/-Flynn-And-Nunes-Met-With-Turkish-Officials-In-Jan-How-Many-Dots-Are-There
January
At this point, no evidence Nunes was at September meeting and no evidence Flynn spoke of kidnapping Turkish cleric at January meeting. We just don't know yet.

Nunes and a few others hopefully are toast no matter the outcome. Trump and company are in the meat grinder. Food analogies seem to come to my mind today.

Now THAT would be really crazy!
ETA:
Likely the transition team was discussing US-Turkish relations; and maybe how that might affect getting them Gulen through extradition?
An aide of the foreign minister didn't provide additional details on the meeting, but said that Çavuşoğlu was the only foreign leader at the breakfast and the topics on the U.S.-Turkish agenda were discussed by the attendees.
A invitation letter for the breakfast, obtained by Daily Sabah, said the breakfast would be a small event for about 50-60 guests. It also said White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus might join the meeting. It was not immediately clear whether he attended.
An official at the Trump Organization, and two other fundraisers were presented as co-hosts, according to the letter.
