On June 19, 2020, while still running down details in preparation to be the affiant on the fourth FISA warrant, the SSA sent an instant message to Kevin Clinesmith, asking whether he’d gotten an update on whether Carter Page had been a CIA source. Clinesmith responded that he’d learned Page was a “subsource” and “was never a source.” The criminal information does not explain what is meant by “subsource,” but the assertion that Carter Page had never been a source was false.
