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

Inconsistent in what way?

This section of Schiff's memo refers to this section of the last application. If there were a mention proving Sechin and Dvorkovich in the first, it'd be addressed here.pic.twitter.com/0NysF8kk5e

I don’t know if that rules out their having *something* beyond Steele in the first application and more substantial corroboration later, but yeah, that does probably weigh against my idea.

It's absolutely clear Page had meetings w/Russians of interest, especially as they kept wiretapping or analyzed more of his stored comms. There remains not a shred of evidence he met w/Sechin and Dvorkovich, which is consistent with the unreliability of rest of the dossier.
-
Well, I guess we’ll see. But the meetings are the key Steele claims in the application. I don’t know what Schiff’s claim that subsequent sources “corroborated Steele’s reporting” would mean other than “corroborated the meetings.”
-
They could also mean that Schiff is overselling the dossier, which is consistent with his other known actions AND with Warner's greater caution on the dossier, well after the Schiff memo.
