      The obvious thing would be: Information independent of Steele that contradicted factual statements Page had made in his denials. Showing Page had lied about some relevant conduct would, while not dispositive in isolation, tend to strongly bolster the broader case.

      Also, this is not just ELSUR. Also, they application has to prove Page was acting clandestinely.

      Maybe. But they wouldn't need to show that if they can show if (a) Russia does clandestine activities (obv) and (b) Page "knowingly conspired with someone doing those clandestine activities"

      I.e. the language "conspiring" only exists for the final clause of 1801(b)(2)(E) which only requires knowingly conspiring with people acting clandestinely, not that he act clandestinely himself in doing so.pic.twitter.com/mo8v7tNDo4

      And how would his publicly reported meetings in RU being knowingly conspiring with people acting clandestinely? I'm not the only one saying this--so were leakers who've read the section.

      Moreover, why does it matter, at all, that the campaign is disavowing Page if they're not looking at hiding their own activity? They're not being targeted.

      I read section IV as bringing to the court's attention all the facts that counterweight the FBI's argument. There are three public ones: * Yahoo article w highlights that campaign claims Page was a nobody * Page's denial letter * Another article where Page says claims are garbage

      I.e. I (Overview) II Russia is a foreign power w/ clandestine activities III Evidence Carter Page conspired with them A) Page's past B) Page's weird activities IV Evidence maybe he didn't V ?? Maybe types of information sought? VI ?? Maybe targeted facilities? VII Conclusion

      Matt; I've sent you actual analysis of this. Please read that before I show how the statute explains you're wrong.

          Any explanation would need to, at a minimum, note that they added a section after the first app, and note that the weird Feb 2017 letter blaming Hillary shows up in section VI. And note some of the things you've got here appear elsewhere.
