When Rosenstein said

Rosenstein Said that some people unwittingly worked with the Russians, people assumed he was talking about those up on the food chain.

he conspirators corresponded with several Americans during the course of the conspiracy through the internet. There is no allegation in the indictment that the Americans knew they were communicating with Russian intelligence officers.



Last Feb he stated that the Russians created fake companies in the US, as they needed US IP's and bank accounts and identities. I think he was talking about those low on the food chain. The Americans hired to work for those companies are the ones who had no idea that they were really working for the Russian's and their network to overthrow our elections.

One defendant, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, is accused of using companies he controlled – including Concord Management and Consulting, and Concord Catering – to finance the operations against the US. The operation at one stage had a monthly budget of $1.25m, according to Mueller, which paid for operatives’ salaries and bonuses.
Events were organised by Russians posing as Trump supporters and as groups opposed to Trump such as Black Lives Matter, according to prosecutors. One advertisement shortly before the election promoted the Green party candidate Jill Stein, who is blamed by some Clinton backers for splitting the anti-Trump vote.
