and bring in to help us our chief political correspondent, dana bash and elliot williams and jennifer rogers. jennifer, let's listen. this is quickly. the attorney general says she finds 11 women credible. lays out in detail both the governor's actions and this toxic culture of -- in the workplace in the executive branch of the state government. but she says her work is done. listen. >> the matter is a civil in nature. and is not -- does not have any criminal consequences. >> walk us through, then, the legal next steps. she did refer to one case where one woman filed a complaint with the police department about unwanted touching. but when you listen to the presentation, a lot of people out there are going to be saying where's the legal accountability? >> yeah. i agree, john. i mean, listen, what she's saying is that her office is not going to continue criminally with this matter. the albany district attorney has one case. if any of the other women wish to press charges, they can go to their local prosecutor or where the event happened. sometimes manhattan, sometimes albany, to see if charges

joey, are you going to let jennifer rogers say -- i know -- >> sorry. >> you're a former prosecutor, ut you're the defense attorney in this scenario. jennifer, you're the former prosecutor. investigators interviewed 179 people and reviewed thousands of pieces of evidence but his attorneys are goiing after two f the 11 accusers on substance. how did they do? >> not well. i disagree with joey on this. the fact they only went after two of these episodes out of 11 tells you something. it tells you they have nothing to say about the other nine and not given an advanced copy of the report but the notion cuomo didn't know what was coming, there were only two new accusations. everything else was known to the public, much less to him. he was interviewed for 11 hours weeks ago. he has known what was coming. the notion they couldn't get-togethers anything on the march marc merits for the others, saying executive assistant number one was eating snacks so she couldn't have been groped. we're getting a little silly now. the defense on the marcerits wa not good. he will have to have more due process

joey, are you going to let jennifer rogers say what -- i know that you say you're a former prosecutort? but you're the defense attorney, in this scenario. so, jennifer, you are the prosecutor in this sqcenario an you are a former prosecutor. investigators say they interviewed 179 people, reviewed 74,000 pieces of evidence, as joey just said. but his attorneys are going after two of his 11 accusers on the substance. how did they do? >> not well, don. i actually disagree with joey on this. i mean, first of all, the fact that they only went after two of these episodes out of 11 tells you something. it tells you that they have nothing to say about the other nine. and yes, they were not given an advance copy of the report but the notion that cuomo and his team didn't know what was coming? i mean, we all knew about these accusations. there were only two new ones. everything else was known to the public, much less to them. he was interviewed for 11 hours, weeks ago. he's known exactly what was coming, in this report. so, the notion that they couldn't cobble together anything on the merits fo

. >>> "outfront" with me now is jennifer rogers. e governor's legal team tried to discredit, begin to discredit his accusers today? what do you make of their defense? >> they are trying to do two things, they argued about the merit and process. i thought the merit was a weak defense. they only addressed two of the 11 accusers and even then tiki tack in the way they try to pick at certain as sppects of the stories. i thought all of that was pretty unimpressive. the process carried weight with me. on one hand, they don't really deserve process. there is no legal right to process in this part of the procep proce proceedings, the a.g. report but under cuts the ability to defend him if they don't have access to the interviews. i think the process argument is important going forward . if we're headed towards impeachment, which i think we are, i hope they look closely to due process and makes sure he's able to participate in the proceedings in a meaningful way because if he's not, i'm afraid if he's removed from office he may have a claim f

by political commentator errol lewis and also cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jennifer rogers. jennifer, what's your reaction to what we just heard? this former employee who has come forward. >> well, it's huge, jim, because it means that they can, if they choose to do so -- >> i should say current employee. want to get that clear. >> correct. it's really important because it means that the da in albany can if he decides to do so, proceed with the case against the governor. previously without a willing complainant who is willing to publicly come forward and go forward with that complaint, there's no way any prosecutor would proceed. even though technically they can. now with someone willing to do this, to pursue these charges, to appear publicly, to press this case, if they choose to do so, the albany da can do that. he still has a lot to think about. it's a different standard of proof. he has to have beyond a reasonable doubt evidence. he has to think about what other evidence is admissible. it will be less than investigators who wrote the report considered. but he at least c

let's bring in cnn legal analyst, a former federal prosecutor jennifer rogers along with albany reportermpeachment process in albany is progressing. what is the sentiment among state lawmakers right now? >> you know, i think people who are critics of the governor, wolf, will be disappointed a little bit in this impeachment investigation and the process as it unfolds. it will be deliberative. the body is designed to move slowly. they will move towards drafting articles of impeachment and voting on them on the floor. but it will not get there quite as quickly. >> jennifer, you just heard a firsthand account from one of cuomo's accusers who filed a criminal complaint against him. how strong is her case? >> well, it's hard to say, wolf, because what we have seen in the report was evidence it was considered under a civil standard, so when we saw that the report investigators credited her -- her narrative and said that he did harass her and he did grope her, that wasn't a beyond a reasonable doubt standard. so we really need to see under what's in the report. you need to see the underlying mat

joining us, our own legal team, both former federal prosecutor and cnn legaln't jennifer rogers and cnnlegal analyst elie honig. what kind of legal trouble could governor cuomo potentially be in down the line? >> so there's two things to watch for here, anderson. first of all, potential criminal charges. they are absolutely still possible. but i think realistically they're unlikely. here's why. in order to prove a criminal case you have to make proof beyond a reasonable doubt. that doesn't mean something likely happened. that doesn't mean something very likely happened. that's the highest standard known to our legal system. and an important thing to keep in mind too. part of the reason the attorney general's report had so much impact is because there were 11 dplanants. if you're going to charge a criminal case, though, each of those complainants stands alone. you're not going to have that sort of impact of the weight of 11 different complainants. and there could be civil lawsuits as well, anderson. any or all of those 11 women can sue governor cuomo under the law that he signed that mak

joining us now let's bring in jennifer rogers who is cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor. also with us, cnn chief correspondent dana bash. da dana let me start with you and pick up where paula left off. it is she said times 11, 179 witnesses including a trooper. the governor has tried to dismiss this as all politically motivated. it is hard to maintain that defense when you see the breadth and the specificity of this report. >> not just that it is politically motivated, he went on with an elaborate slide show as part of his very carefully crafted response to say, yeah, i act in ways that people might think is inappropriate but that's just the way i am, that's the way my family is, that's the way i was brought up. so it is even more detailed and even deeper a defense than it is politically motivated. that is going to be, you know, what people who are going to be likely, even though there weren't criminal or civil charges brought today, but it almost certainly will happen on some level in the state of new york, that will be what will go on in that court of law. but as paula

rogers will be our guest. he will join us in moments, but we have fox team coverage that begins now. peter doocy standing by at the white house. >> john: but first to jennifer griffin. hi. >> just learned from sources on the ground at kabul airport that there are some chartered flights that are leaving kabul airport empty because the state department is requiring so much paperwork, so much in terms of the manifest that they are not allowed to put people who need to be evacuated on those planes. a great deal of frustration from military sources telling me that the state department is making it very hard for the military to get out. some in the afghan national army who did not think that they would be fleeing the country this soon because of the requirements of so much paperwork. the pentagon says in the past 24 hours, 25 c-17s and 61 charter flights have carried a total of 16,000 people out of afghanistan, but that gets to the kabul airport have been closed at times, and now the u.s. government is excepting only americans and those with visas in hand to come to the airport. >> why use that pakistanis and the qatari is to help bring people out? right now, you
