at all areas of the rio grande valley, just yesterday evening we saw a group of about five migrants that came from el salvador being apprehended earlier in the day. a group of about 2,000 even more being apprehended by border patrol agents, they are being inundated and overwhelmed by the flow of migrants over the border and that s why several states outside of texas and texas itself have sent troopers to the border to help assist in the border patrol efforts, and they appreciate the former president coming here to talk about what is going on here in the rio grande valley to talk about the wall that he was instrumental in making happen and to talk about the policies they say will help solve some of the challenges that this region has faced over the last several months, shannon. shannon: grady, i m assuming you have had a chance to have this conversation with the border patrol and folks doing tough work at the border, we hear that they are stretched in a million different directions an
system down there. john: we know that his attorneys were raising the issues by the supreme court, why does this take us so by a surprise? shannon: i think because it had been an overwhelming legal conviction, but the p.r., the public conviction as well, many convinced, and did not want to believe it about the man who is america s dad, america s granddad, there were so many women that came forward with such the consistent stories about the methodology and what happened that many people in the public became convinced that you have the public battle, the legal conviction, all of that seemed to say that he was not going anywhere, but he has always had supporters along the way and he would rather serve the entire 10-year sentence then admit he had done anything wrong according to sexual assault. so the legal system is there any had a great legal team and they used it to their advantage and now what feels like a stunning development today as we wait to see him and his legal team
actually holding a press conference at some point. john: on the way to get them out of prison. let s bring in terrel leo, 58 accusers, one of which went to trial, rested 12 days before the statute of limitations ran out on that case, and now he is going to be a free man in minutes, what are you thinking about all of this? i will tell you right now, john, shannon, i cover the trial when it came out a couple of years ago. do i believe that bill cosby is a predator? yes, no question about it. do i believe that the legal system did them wrong? absolutely, emily talked about it before, one, the deal that he made with the district attorney, he had a deal, and you have a due process argument, and he relied upon that. and the subsequent d.a. ran a campaign on that he was charged, bill cosby. so it was a political motivation, secondly, and prior
relied on that agreement that he would not be prosecuted and then gave potentially incriminating testimony in a civil suit and called involving the accuser that is a problem recorded among others saying he gets go free. emily: that s exactly right, shannon, the bottom line is for everyone to understand a due process trumps everything else in the prosecution whole system. and here the court was pointing out exactly that. they said the district attorney upon his assurances the defendant, and it will just say dependent, because i want to remove for a second our association that it is bill cosby, because we know through his own mouth that he is indeed guilty of these charges, but essentially the defendant relied upon a prosecutor who said i m not going to prosecute you at this time, there is too much of a lack of physical evidence at this time and issues of credibility given the timeliness factor with failure to file a complaint right after andrea constand s allegations occurred, so in
unfortunate common denominator of sexual predators like this that abuse their position of power were so many women and people below them is that hubris. and it sort of back to you. shannon: emily compagno, thank you so much for lending us our expertise today. b2b had to jump in because we need to go down to miami and a rare move, the miami state attorney saying that she will ask a grand jury to investigate the building collapsed in florida where the 16 people died, 147 are still missing. phil keating live on the ground with the very latest, phil, where what is it looking like from where you are? from here it is another day, every day it has been pouring rain off and on in the afternoon, and that hinders and sometimes holds the heroic search and rescue operation that is going on on the collapse side of that tower behind me, they did find more bodies overnight and more tunnels or voids where
