Stephen Colbert Breaks Down Devin Nunes With Cheeky Diagram  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Mar 29, 2017 3:25 PM UTC  CBS  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Mar 29, 2017 3:25 PM UTC In the wake of confirmation that [House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes](http://time.com/4715399/devin-nunes-russia-investigation-house-intelligence-committee/) went to White House grounds to meet with the [unnamed source](http://time.com/4713943/devin-nunes-white-house-source-meeting/) behind his claim that Trump associates were caught up in [“incidental” surveillance](http://time.com/4714523/devin-nunes-white-house-donald-trump-russia-chuck-schumer/), Stephen Colbert took some time to give _Late Show_ viewers a rundown of Nunes’ “conflicts of interest.” During Tuesday’s episode, the host used a chalkboard diagram to illustrate his take on how the push and pull between Nunes’ loyalties to the Intelligence Committee and the Trump transition team may have affected his investigations of both the president’s wiretapping claims and his campaign’s potential [ties to Russia](http://time.com/4433880/donald-trump-ties-to-russia/). Of course, Colbert couldn’t resist using the chart to crack a few jokes as well.
