I think they can because they have mosquitos from that time period

They can't, actually, not without mixing it with another creature. Because all cells come from cells. You'd have to put the dino DNA into a modern reptile cell. And it does matter, because it is cellular machinery that brings about gene expression - and that can have a huge effect on gene expression. (epigenetic inheritance) So you would not really know what trait was dinosaur, and what was artifact from expressing the genes in a modern reptile cell.
Still and all, it would be fun, I agree!

no because what if they do and something goes wrong and the dinosaur goes crazy and kills innocent people and the national guard gets involved? honestly no its not a good idea. have you seen those movies where someone tries to modify and animal or create an creature and things go horribly wrong?

imagine you were cloned 30 million years after your dead by insects. do you think you would like that ?, i think we should let the dinosour sleep.
