CNN Parts Ways With Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin

Jeffrey Toobin, the veteran legal analyst and writer who has opined on cases and the courts for CNN since 2002, appears to have offered his last testimony at the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet.

In a letter sent Friday to colleagues, Toobin revealed that he is parting ways with CNN, which has backed him in good times and bad. CNN placed Toobin on leave in the fall of 2020 after he acknowledged exposing himself during a video call with staffers from The New Yorker, where he had been working since 1993. Toobin and the Conde Nast publication cut ties, but CNN put its contributor back on the air in June of 2021 after a months-long leave.

The Cable News Network gave him a CNN-branded suit.

They wanted it back when they let Toobin go.

They said, “Jeff, on the way out....drop your pants and jacket off.”

They don’t want an “old hand” like Toobin around. That would rub everyone wrong. You know, different strokes....

Good for Jeff Toobin. Now he can concentrate on his other career, making internet porn.

Maybe he didn’t resign. Ever think that maybe CNN told him to “beat it?”

Are you sure he didn't take matters into his own hands?
