    I'm not getting much help. This seems plausible, to me. But it could also be a scheme for butt covering.

    The article basically claims that the RUSSIA! collusion hoax was a RUSSIAN! disinformation campaign. It implies that the CIA, FBI, DOJ, the entire Obama administration, Clinton, Democrats, Republicans, and news organizations were all suckered by, yes, THE RUSSIANS!.

    I'm on the fence on this. Yes, I do think that it's possible that they are so anti-Trump, that they were easy dupes. On the other hand, I think it's probably a narrative being floated to save their asses.

    "Another possibility — one that Mr. Steele has not ruled out — could be Russian disinformation. That would mean that in addition to carrying out an effective attack on the Clinton campaign, Russian spymasters hedged their bets and placed a few land mines under Mr. Trump’s presidency as well.

    Oleg D. Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general who now lives outside Washington, saw that as plausible. “Russia has huge experience in spreading false information,” he said."

    To be fair to Clinton she didn’t use it, it was used by the obama DOJ as ani insurance policy.
