cnn reporter kara skinell joins me now. we learned that federal prosecutors in a new filing are investigating uncharged individuals. that was disclosed as part of a request that all the parties stay quiet about all the information that s handed over to prosecutors. is there anything we can glean from that. the chickens are coming home to roost, first, let s talk about the pilots, you have a person who has a private plane and is flying in a variety of ways, what is he doing, where is he flying, who is he traveling with. who are the women if any, who are the young girls if any, it gives you a time line with regard to piecing together what his activities are. they re also being tight lipped about this, and as much as the judge has an order, saying, defense attorneys are allowed to evaluate and view this information. we are not allowed to review it, you want to investigate.
really? you re upset. the last five years, anytime you criticize barack obama, racist. criticize omar. islamaphobic. criticize the captain of the u.s. soccer team. sexist and homophobic. the chickens have come home to roost, to quote the pastor of barack obama. it s sad because the only time you play the race card in the gender card is because you don t have any cards left to play. that s what you said right here when you cited the democratic lawmaker. she sounds like a republican. william lacy clay, male democrat from missouri. what a weak argument talking about aoc because you can t get your way and you re getting pushed back. you resort to using the race card. that s unbelievable to me. that s what republicans have been saying for so long, a weak response when you can t persuade to make an argument and i will say lastly, they haven t been singled out. they singled themselves out.
he may get his passport that he has to surrender, but i do believe he ll be released. there are problems, however, that he s facing, and i have three major concerns. the first concern is the climate that we re in. we are in a time s up, me too movement climate. that is people are mad as heck, and they re not going to take it anymore, and the chickens are coming home to roost, and the wheels of justice may move slow, but they re moving. that s one thing i m concerned about if i m defending him. the second and very important thing i m concerned about is in that indictment there are four separate victims. you imagine those victims going and testifying in front of that jury, and it s not one. it s not two. it s not three. it s four. the final thing, don, i m concerned about is the prior bad act evidence. that s not convictions that he has of his past, not suggesting that. but there are other women who the judge may allow to come and testify. and if a judge allows other people to testify, t
things as criminal defense attorneys as the same way but you have to be careful in as much as you don t want to revictimize victims, you have to walk the fine line and the defense has pitfalls and the first pitfall is we are in a new era, me too, time s up, i m mad as heck and i m not going to take it anymore and you see the chickens go home to roost, and in that climate you don t want to demonize them, you don t want to asile them but at the same time, in the attorneys in the time of court will need to challenge the credibility. the other issue that is quite concerning in this case, you have four different victims in that indictment. and if you have seen any of the documentary and any of the compelling, really, discussions, and really testimonials that the women had given, it s compelling. and i can only imagine how a jury would process that information, in addition to that, you have the issue of any prior bad act evidence. that is not that he has been convicted before he was acquitte
the judge then makes a decision about what bail, if any, is going to be offered. it may be a very high bail. he may get his passport that he has to surrender, but i do believe he ll be released. there are problems, however, that he s facing, and i have three major concerns. the first concern is the climate that we re in. we are in a time s up, me too movement climate. that is people are mad as heck, and they re not going to take it anymore, and the chickens are coming home to roost, and the wheels of justice may move slow, but they re moving. that s one thing i m concerned about if i m defending him. the second and very important thing i m concerned about is in that indictment there are four separate victims. you imagine those victims going and testifying in front of that jury, and it s not one. it s not two. it s not three. it s four. the final thing, don, i m concerned about is the prior bad act evidence. that s not convictions that he has of his past, not suggesting that. but there
