I follow the guy for analysis of all things Russiagate, so maybe he is on the left, I haven't reviewed all his twitter history. Calling a spade a spade doesn't necessarily make you anti-Trump or anti-Nunes. I'm not anti-Trump because I say he lies all the time... it's just a fact.
Lol... read 2 tweets later dude. Did you just stop reading the thread when you saw that? He corrected himself.
Again, we can all read the document. The Yahoo news story is an example of Carter Page rejecting some of the claims about himself. It's not a demonstration of independent corroboration.
He corrected himself on what? I think you're misreading his twitter chain. He said:

Nunes memo (left), first FISA application (right)
The Nunes memo gets only one thing right: there is an error in the first FISA application.
...
Actually, I'm going to take that back. Look how FBI re-writes this footnote in FISA applications the second, third and fourth: FBI alerts the FISC that they suspended a relationship with Steele over his contacts with the press, but they conspicuously *don't* retract that sentence
It's honestly kind of amazing that *every single one* of the assertions about inadequacies about the FISA application by Nunes are just directly refuted by the FISA application. Utterly dishonest in its entirety.
You got it backwards, he's 'taking back' his tweet claiming Nunes got only one thing right, not the one above it. And then he claims that Nunes was wrong about
everythingBut you can read the FISA warrant for yourself: The guy's twitter thread is wrong. He's showing something that contradicts the point he's trying to make.
How can anyone read that footnote and claim its "
alerting the FISC that the Isikoff story is based on Steele's underlying reporting"?
They present Isikoff's story, then specifically note that they do not believe that the story came from Steele. Which is the exact opposite of alerting them it came from Steele.
And when you present an (ostensibly) independent source making the same claims, there's no other way to read that then as corroborating evidence.
All of this is consistent with what Nunes wrote in his memo;
Quote
"The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page's July 2016 trip to Moscow. This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. ... The Page FISA application incorrectly assesses that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News
