Reactions to Cosby Admission; Hillary Clinton Pushes Back on Media Criticism.
CABRERA: Janice Dickinson says she feels, quote, "no vindication in Cosby's admission that he obtained drugs with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with." The supermodel who claims Bill Cosby raped her in the early 1980s spoke with CNN's Erin Burnett about the new revelations and the stars who continue to support him.</s>ERIN BURNETT, CNN ANCHOR, OUTFRONT: Here's a little bit more of what Whoopi said.</s>WHOOPI GOLDBERG, CO-HOST, THE VIEW: In America, still, I know it's a shock, but you actually were innocent until proven guilty. He has not been proven a rapist.</s>CABRERA: Janice, when you hear that, what do you think? I mean, how does someone at this point prove something?</s>JANICE DICKINSON, COSBY ACCUSER: I can't -- I can't answer anything about Whoopi Goldberg. You know, I mean, she's a talk show host. You know. I don't know if she's ever been raped or drugged or bought off. I don't know. I can't -- I can't answer that.</s>CABRERA: We'll bring in Boris Sanchez, he's been following this story for us. Boris, what are you -- what more can you tell us?</s>BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ana, it's so interesting to see that range of reactions from these alleged victims. Janice Dickinson obviously very distraught while Victoria Valentino, another alleged victim, said she was elated that the details in that 2005 deposition came out on Monday. That deposition, the strongest evidence so far. For more than two dozen women who say the 77-year-old comedian drugged and raped them. Now while Cosby has steadfastly denied those claims, many are essentially walking away from him. Disney removing a statue of Cosby from their Hollywood Studios theme park. Not commenting on that decision. Also two networks, bounce TV and centric, removing reruns of "The Cosby show" from their air. Not everyone walking away from him, though. You saw Whoopi Goldberg defending him on "The View" yesterday. Also on that show, former "Cosby Show" co-star Raven- Symone said she needs more evidence before she can make a judgment.</s>RAVEN-SYMONE, CO-HOST, THE VIEW: I don't really like to talk about it that much because he's the reason I'm on this panel in the first place. He gave me my first job. But at the time, you know, you need the proof. And then I'll be able to give my judgment here or there.</s>SANCHEZ: Cosby again has denied all the accusations against him. His attorney has said they will not be putting out a comment. His publicist also saying they don't plan on giving a statement.</s>CABRERA: All right. Boris Sanchez, reporting, thanks so much. For more, I want to turn to Mel Robbins, who is CNN commentator, legal analyst. Now I want to focus on possible charges because so many people are asking, when is he going to face his day in court? And, of course, the statute of limitations has expired in so many of these cases. Is it possible he could still face criminal charges?</s>MEL ROBBINS, CNN COMMENTATOR: Absolutely possible. In fact, let's just focus on New York and the state of California. In the state of New York if a victim comes forward and alleges that she was raped by Bill Cosby and has a story that the police and that the prosecutors feel that they can prosecute and move forward on, she has to allege that it happened from 2006 forward. If that happens and it's a good case and they can -- they think they can prove it, he will be charged. In California, 2004, and here's something really interesting, there is a woman, Chloe Goins, who says that she was raped by Bill Cosby at the Playboy mansion. It's under investigation by the LAPD. It falls within the statute of limitations. And if you're interested in this, tune in at noon because her attorney is going to be on with Ashleigh Banfield talking about that case. So he is by no means out of the woods. And I just want to address with those ladies set on "The View" because I'm disgusted. There is a difference between the burden of proof in a criminal case and the burden of proof with commonsense. When you have 24 women that come out and say the exact same thing over and over and over and have nothing to gain because they can't prosecute him, they can't bring a civil claim because the statute of limitations has run, they've got nothing, absolutely nothing to gain. And so to say that you still need more proof when Bill Cosby actually corroborates that he had a plan with women, that he had drugs for women, it is absurd and it's offensive. I can't believe what I'm hearing.</s>CABRERA: Well, we do want to say Bill Cosby has denied all of these allegations and he has yet to face any criminal charges so --</s>ROBBINS: But he may.</s>CABRERA: He is, you know, not -- has not been proven guilty in a court of law at this point. But you say it's still possible --</s>ROBBINS: In the court of commonsense.</s>CABRERA: And it's still possible he could face charges moving forward because there are also a number of other states that have no statute of limitations. And if what some of these women are saying is true, that there are many more cases they know of, that hasn't been made public, you never know where those cases are. But there is another case that is still pending right now. The case of Judy Huff. Now this is in California, which has stature of limitations. She claims when she was 15 years old, she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby at the Playboy mansion. This is back in the 1970s. But yet her case is pending. It just came forward in December. Why is her case not, I guess, limited by the statute of limitations?</s>ROBBINS: Well, so there's three different statute of limitations in the state of California. There's those that apply to rapes that are perpetrated against women who are 18 years or older. And that statute of limitations is 10 years. Then there is the statute of limitations for minors. That is up to your 40th birthday, you can bring a claim. Well, clearly since this happened in the '70s, she's certainly older than 40 years old. There's a third. And the third is, if you have a triggering event when you're an adult that makes you remember an attack that happened when you were a child and you have a certified psychologist in the state of California that can testify to the fact and will sign an affidavit that says, she's been in therapy, she only just remembered it, that I will put my professional opinion on the line and sign an affidavit that says this is something that happened that she's now remembered, you have a new statute of limitations of, I believe, it's three years. But I'll have to check. But just a couple of years from the memory of it happening.</s>CABRERA: Of the trigger.</s>ROBBINS: And that's what happened. She's saying that when all of these women started coming forward, she went into therapy, she remembered that it happened to her as we hear the details about the blue pills and about the drugging and more and more people come forward, that's raising up these memories and validating it, and that's what she's basing her claim on. And so I would frankly be surprised given the number of women that have come forward and given the fact that it's only 2006 moving forward in New York, 2004 moving forward in California, if we don't see somebody come forward making new claims.</s>CABRERA: All right. Mel Robbins, thanks for breaking it down for us. And it will be interesting. This is one to watch for sure. Tune in tonight at 9:00, CNN's special report "NO LAUGHING MATTER, INSIDE THE COSBY ALLEGATIONS". Hillary Clinton under heavy scrutiny for shrugging off the media in the first few months of her presidential bid. But she did sit down in an exclusive interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar. And Clinton says the media just isn't her priority. It's the people who could put her in the White House.</s>HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I'm not running my campaign for the press. I'm running it for voters. I totally respect the press and what the press has to do. But I wanted and was determined to have the time that I needed to actually meet and listen to people. You know, I had not been involved in domestic politics while I was secretary of state. And I just wanted to get my own feel, my own time face to face with people. And I learned a lot, Brianna.</s>CABRERA: Joining me now, CNN's senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny and CNN senior political reporter Nia-Malika Henderson. Nia, let's start with you. Clinton says she wanted to connect with voters first. Fair enough. And she's saying she's going to start doing more interviews. Does this still provide fuel to critics who say she still isn't being transparent enough?</s>NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER: Absolutely. And you saw the Republicans with a flood of statements after this interview basically saying that she's still obfuscating on some of these issues, whether it was the e-mails. They were sort of complaining about her dodging certain answers that were very directly asked by Brianna there. So, yes, this doesn't put a lot of complaints about Hillary Clinton from Republicans to rest. I think the question is, does it change any minds in terms of that Democratic constituency that she's going after in this primary race. She's obviously going to be out there more and more. Certainly donors have been pushing her to get out there more. I talked to a couple of those folks who didn't like this initial sort of strategy that she had. I think we'll see her more and more but the more she does this and I think obviously folks in her campaign know this, the more she does interviews, there are going to be more questions and more attacks and more ways in which Republicans will try to press her.</s>CABRERA: Jeff, Clinton also talked about the controversy around her use of personal e-mail while she was secretary of state. Listen.</s>BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: So can you tell me the story of how you decided to delete 33,000 e-mails and how that deletion was executed?</s>CLINTON: Well, let's start from the beginning. Everything I did was permitted. There was no law, there was no regulation, there was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate. Previous secretaries of state have said they did the same thing. And people across the government knew that I used one device, maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person, and wanted to make it as easy as possible.
