The point was to muddy the FISA warrant on Page, the coffee boy.

Gowdy reviewed the docs the memo is based on and then announce his retirement. There is something in those transcripts that is not good. Did the docs convince him to retire or is it just coincidence? Trump's team knows what info they had forwarded to Russia via Page and now they know Mueller knows. They have no choice but to soil the FISA warrant. Muddy the warrant =muddied info in the wiretaps.

I also believe it is possible that trump talked to the Kremlin on Carter Page's phone. That could be why they are in meltdown mode over this.

Now, as for being classified top secret.. IDK why. I suspect that the memo lets Russia know how long the IC has been onto Page. They now know what the IC knows.

If Page ever goes to Russia again, I am reasonably sure there is a window waiting for him to accidentally fall out of. The memo ensures that. Maybe Page will hire Steven Segall as a body guard and Russia will get a twofer.
