take some action to prosecute the wrongdoing that happened, the statute of limitations hasn t run yet. and these things need to be investigated and need to be pursued. accountability is what will stop it in the future. if there s no accountability, then a future president who wants to act in the same way that donald trump has acted will continue to act that way. so it must be taken seriously. melissa, the southern district of new york has appointed a special master to review evidence about rudy giuliani. what is the role of a special master and what does that tell us about the broader case involving trump? well, it s not the first time we have seen a special master involved in matters related to the trump organization. a special master was also appointed in the michael cohen case to review the materials that were surfaced in the michael cohen investigation to insure that nothing that was turned over to the grand jury violated attorney/client privilege. that s what the special maste
basically start a special counsel to investigate an issue that should never have been investigated to begin with. sean: y instead of declining to prosecute, why would he wait to make the decision? why wouldn t he add that to a future prosecution? why not add that? sean: why would the attorney general decline and not just wait? well, it s a very good question, and maybe he will reconsider. i would encourage him to look at the negligence statue. sean: just because he declined to prosecute at this moment, that doesn t mean he ll decline forever, and is a question much bigger now. he can reverse his decision making, as long as the statute of limitations hasn t run. that s not going to run for a while. the interesting thing is, now we
really hard to win these cases for a number of reasons. to win a drugging charge, you have to show the victim was drugged without her knowledge. in most states you don t have to show without her knowledge, it s enough that a victim becomes incapacitated so she can t make a voluntary decision about having sex. that s a terrible thing about pennsylvania law, and lawmakers there should be ashamed of themselves and they should fix the law tomorrow. one of the other charges on incapacitation requires that the victim be asleep or unconscious. are you kidding me? how does an asleep or unconscious woman testify about what happened to her body? i mean that s a no-brainer to rip that one out of the books. she may well have been raped by him while unconscious but there was no evidence because she was unconscious. so these are really big problems with the law in pennsylvania. and if i were in charge of all of the victims, if i could give them any advice, i d say don t go back to court in pennsylva
then could one sue again? sure, if the statute of limitations hasn t run and if you find the plane and if you in finding the plane you can discover or investigate a mechanical failure. i mean there are all of these unknown scenarios. but i think unlike some of these programs after 9/11, you mentioned or the oil spill in the gulf, there is no real fund here or a special compensation fund. this is rather straightforward and conventional under existing law. and could there is one u.s. passenger, adult passenger aboard the plane. that, too, has to happen in any compensation at this point has to happen in either malaysia or in china if there is no cause found. if they don t find the plane? i think that s right. even if it is an american
and let s say they go a couple of years or whatever and they do the payouts. and then we find the data boxes and there is something wrong with the engine or something that can be traced to boeing. then could one sue again? sure, if the statute of limitations hasn t run and if you find the plane and if you in finding the plane you can discover or investigate a mechanical failure. i mean there are all of these unknown scenarios. so bottom line, fred, you know, not knowing what happened to the plane, there is some compensation for the families, not much in u.s. terms, but in what is agreed to by an international treaty organization. so we have to see how this plays out and whether, in fact, they do find these data boxes. yeah. interest potential scenarios there. you also had with you senator dianne feinstein and you asked her about lingering questions
