We were supposed to be hearing publicly from michael cohen earlier this month. then it was going to be behind closed doors. then it was stopped. its been the stop, start, stop, start. its now happening next wednesday. do you think that there will be bombshells, or it will be much more tame than people anticipate? >> i think to assume, knowing how michael cohen has been the past several years, that there will be fireworks even if there arent bombshells. we know capitol hill is in no mood to put u...

Some other things and other pieces of evidence that they are looking at, as well. we know, obviously, that there is a videotape that they have in their possession in this particular case, and that the third victim it said, there was an incident that occurred, and its a specific date -- on february 18th, 2003. the last victim, may 2009 to january 2010. in the last case, it was a victim being under the age of 17. the reason why 17 is so important here is because that is in illinois the age of cons...

As a flight risk. yes? >> absolutely. a judge has to assess several factors. and one of the factors is, is the defendant a flight risk, does he pose a danger to himself or the community? and so for the underlying offense or whatever was charged in this indictment, is indicative of a possible child predator, right. a sexual predator. with the means and access that r. kelly has, the court is afraid that he would be a possible flight risk. they want to ensure that he is going to be in court and is ...

Would he take this job a second time just to tarnish his reputation? and that doesnt strike me as realistic. it strikes me that he -- if problems land in his lap, i think he will handle it the way we would expect, say, rod rosenstein to handle it or any other truly professional prosecutor. in other words, im actually one of those who has reasonable confidence that attorney general barr will handle this, any report that hes given, in an appropriate fashion. >> back to your point, nelson, on maybe...

Who came forward saying that they themselves had been abused by r. kelly, both sexually and physically and other ways. they also talked about being minors, a few saying they were minors when r. kelly engaged in sexual activity with them. as you know, engaging in sexual activity with a minor is considered statutory rape. so we should also mention that r. kelly all these years, all the accusations that have come forward against him, he has denied each and every one of them. hes been very clear, sa...
