Don Jr is stupid too but he's immensely useful to RUssia.

But Don Jr is crooked and stupid. Carter Page can across as a kind of bipolar ingenu who was just really interested in Russia (but didn’t understand it).

Virtually nothing in it that wasn't already public has been confirmed. And the reports on RU's hacking ability are unbelievably bad. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/29/on-disinformation-and-the-dossier/ …
