Its release is buried (likely intentionally) on the weekend but the Democratic Memo has some significant new information.
Item 1- Memo says: “FBI’s concern about and knowledge of Page’s activities..long predate the FBI’s receipt of Steele’s information..Steele’s reporting did not reach the counterintelligence team at FBI until mid-Sep 2016, more than 7 weeks after the FBI opened its investigation”
Item 2- Dem memo states Steele’s role was properly disclosed in the Oct 2016 FISA application, incl his political motivations. Republican memo argued the FISA application failed to note that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and DNC were indirectly paying for Steele’s research
Item 3- By September 2016, the FBI had already opened "sub-inquiries" into a number of Trump campaign associates, beyond Carter Page. The number is redacted.
Item 4- FBI interviewed Page in March 2016 about his contact with Russian intelligence earlier than previously known
