Does a prosecutor need to be able to ask a question that is reasonably inferable from the evidence?

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Trinh, 1995 WL 398897, 60 F.3d 835 (9th Cir. 1995):
United States v. Soulard, 730 F.2d 1292, 1306 (9th Cir.1984). The prosecutor's statement here does not meet this standard; rather it seems to be merely a rhetorical question that is reasonably inferable from the evidence presented.
