Innocent

FBI Attorney Clinesmith

A consulting attorney hired to check if Carter Page was on intelligence payroll, a source.  The official, written response was 'Sure was, very candid about his dealings with Ruskie until 2011. All the intelligence departments agreed, the memo was released to Congress, the job was done.

Somewhere this attorney used the term sub-source, instead of source, some artistic flourish. He is an attorney, after all.  Page was a sub source, he was not an agent in any fashion, even Ruskie knew him mainly as a political animal.  My verdict? Leave the attorney alone; his small word change is mostly accurate, within his job duties, and minor to the whole affair.
