But Rosenstein does — at least when it comes to the ads for which Russia paid. Appearing on the “Target USA” podcast from Washington's WTOP radio station, Rosenstein said he thought American voters were too “savvy” to be influenced by such ads. Here's the full quote, in context:I think what people need to keep in mind is that there’s a distinction between people trying to sway American elections and succeeding in swaying American elections. You know, American citizens are pretty savvy, and they decide who to vote for. The question wasn't really about that — it was about whether Russia is interfering with anything besides American elections — and Rosenstein seemed to volunteer this idea about how Russia's ads didn't work.
