From what Sally Yates said, I had the impression they were deliberately kept out of the loop as were many of the other agencies that would have normally been brought in to vet the EO and keep it as airtight as possible to prevent the sort of slap down that just happened.

I could be wrong, but Trump has played all these EOs close to the vest, and it just smacks of something the bumbling brown nosers he's surrounded himself with would churn out. I'm just curious, if not Bannon, maybe it was his henchman, Stephen Miller.
