russians, not only is it government officials not saying anything, but all over commentators seem to be laying low. we know the simple answer in the past, is they say they were not involved, which is strange, considering the 37 people and entities who have been charged as a result of the mueller investigation, 29 were russian. the gru, russia's military service members, and then also two who were behind the troll factory that was apparently behind the influence campaign on behalf of the russian government, all things they continue to deny, but you can feel how they're at this point laying low waiting for the principal conclusions to come out and another thing of message control. >> good appointed. fred pleitgen, thanks very much.
