With. it shows how he was trying to use these relationships to try to gain access to women. >> do we know any more about the number of women who have come forward, alleged victims? >> prosecutors said in court last week, they have heard from a number of women, they didnt put a number on it. people said they were possible victims and witnesses to epstein. this is something that prosecutors have not detailed any further. but we do -- we heard from some lawyers that have represented accusers in the...

That would constrain the fbi from getting all the facts. >> jesse: youve got your investigation. whats the problem now? >> juan: this is a whitewash, a sham and what you have the people who are in the business of pushing this through like it was a weight sled, they were just going to push it through. thanks to the f value of a few days. but just interview nine people. dont interview the principals. dont interview judge kavanaugh. dont interview professor ford. dont interview the people who have ...

Investigation they would test the allegations made by dr. ford. >> just ford? >> they would question some of the folks -- and they would question some of the folks who have already come forward in the public and made statements about judge kavanaugh. for example, you were talking at the opening of the show about the credibility of his categorical denial, his categorical denial that hes ever had a night that he cant remember from drinking. there are already several folks who have come forward, co...

Going to jail and sentencing. some of those same people celebrating cosby are also supporting kavanaugh. i dont know how you can celebrate cosby without holding kavanaugh accountable. i dont want kavanaugh to receive anything less than what wlarms bill cosby received. cosby committed a crime. he was convicted of that crime. now he must face the punishment. i dont want him treated any better or worse. id like to think that was some of the sentiment expressed today. maybe it wasnt articulately exp...

Victims, 60 of them, one in this criminal call, but 60 who have come forward, the pain that they health on to for decades. thats the pain that today has finally been rectified or start to be rectified. >> neil: i was trying to relate to the confusion of this young man of realizing he was doing the right thing in his own mind, jurors stand by their decisions, but thats the fall-out to worry about. that theres losers here, messengers here and lessons here. hell be damned to come up with them right...
