RUSH EXCERPT:
ABRAMS: "No, there — there’s nothing in this indictment to prove that there was no collusion or that it didn’t have an impact. The purpose of this indictment would not be to assess the impact on the U.S. election. The purpose of this indictment would be to assess the intent, the efforts made, et cetera. And that it does in great and very specific detail. The question of collusion is an open one. Why? Because as Pierre points out, this investigation is being done in sections, in pieces, the piece that relates to possible collusion relates to hacking. We don’t know what the result of that investigation is. What we do know is that Robert Mueller has felt that people like George Papadopoulos, that people like Michael Flynn had valuable enough information that he cut deals with them, meaning they were facing much more serious time and Mueller decided, you know what, what they have is important enough to me in the context of this investigation that I’m going to give them deals in exchange for that information. We don know what that’s going to lead to yet. So to claim that this somehow conclusively demonstrates anything about what didn’t happen, just isn’t true."
