i want to get the panel in on this. so, mark, did zsh wh what do make of this audio recording? did the district attorney have if you have to bring charges? no. anderson i m never afraid to second guess a prosecutor. in this case, i think they were right. the tape is horrifying to most people when they think about it as a layperson. but as a practical matter for hitting all the elements, they didn t have enough. i think the explanations today may range true to me. the police should have gone to them. should tell them this is what we need. this tape, actually to my mind is more devastating if you have a separate case with somebody else and this is what they call
to plead to something. but it was not a god case to bring if you re a prosecutor. laura, could harvey wipe steen still face charges based on the allegations against him now by the number of women who have come forward? absolutely. and not just the women you re actually talking about from that 2015 incident. you ve got criminal and civil liable. on the civil side you may have charges against only harvey weinstein in terms of civil lawsuits but also the company. you also have the issue of criminal liability if some of the alleged conduct did occur within the statutory period of limitations. remember, most of this has to do with new york and california. neither of which any longer have a statute of limitation period that was as long as before. so if these are all recent allegations that could be brought within that statute, then absolutely you will have the ability to say he has a lot of liability and explaining to do. but i actually agree with mark on the issue of the 2015 case. what
elements. but as mark alluded to earlier, this has a lot of parallels to other very famous cases we ve heard about where there s multiple women who have made these allegations and those can go towards getting this case together about this mo of this person. this apparently is his mo, as kir teen is alluding to. it s been successful in the past to try to brow beat somebody into submission. those all can come together even if they re outside that period to betrust the claims of somebody who is a standing plaintiff in a case. we saw that in the bill cosby case. dozens of women came guard and only one was able to be able to be criminally prosecuted that that. kir steen, though, you read ronan farrow s account and the number of people in his office who seemed to be kind of in on this strategy of, you know, women who were, you know, to sit in on meetings early on so that the potential target would feel
prosecutors in this case with this young woman is precisely derivative of what she just said. you know, they floated out today this woman had testified in the italian prime minister case, and they have kind of posttraumatic prosecution syndrome from the domestic knicks strauss case. so there is something that filters into that. it s built into the system. it s not just film. it s hollywood. it s music. it s, you know, movies. it s fame. i mean, that s a real problem. yeah. mark gather agoes, keir steen powers rs thank you very much. the president tweets and levels a new allegation against the press. up next. flrn we re on to you, diabetes. time s up, insufficient prenatal care. and administrative paperwork,
obviously she came under criticism there were several days in which there was silence. i think she was late. i think president obama was late and i think one of the reasons for that is they re trying to figure out what to do because this is somebody who has been very generous to them personally in their campaigns and, you know, i think hillary clinton s outrage at this was evident, but it was also interesting to me that she made the case in a way that the political class didn t know. and everything we re hearing is that it was an open secret in hollywood, and if it s an open secret in hollywood, you know, these things get around. so the question is how did the political class not know? and i just don t know the answer to that. if you consider someone a friend and you have a lot of friends in hollywood and democrats do, then
