CNN's Toobin Defends Hillary Laughing About Defending Child Rapist
newsbusters.org ^ | May 26, 2016

Posted on 05/30/2016 7:02:04 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360 saw one of the rare instances in which the dominant media have aired audio of Hillary Clinton laughing about successfully helping a child rapist evade justice when she was a young defense attorney in the 1970s.

But, even after a full CNN report recalling the "aggressive" lengths Clinton undertook for her client, and her later being caught on audio tape laughing about her success while acknowledging she knew he was guilty, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin came to her defense.

After recalling that impugning the integrity of a rape victim was common practice in the legal profession in the 1970s, the liberal CNN analyst dismissed her laughing by likening it to telling "war stories."

Toobin: "As for the laughing, you know, I didn't make out exactly what she was laughing about. It sounded like lawyers talking about war stories, which they do all the time. I just certainly didn't think anything on that tape suggested she was insensitive to women."

It’s called self preservation.

I think the lies turn her on. She loves to lie.

Toobin is a reminder that lawyers in general are loathsome creatures but liberal lawyers are mere piles of dog Shiite.

Sounds like Toobin is speaking from personal experience.

I wonder how many child rapists has he defended and then laughed about it.

I know. He just lost temper and got personal, and went after members’ screen name, which was a stupid thing to do.

This should surprise no one. After all CNN is the Clinton News Network. Expect more of this. CNN will do absolutely anything to get Hillary Clinton into the White House.

While her laugh on tape is not a huge issue (especially compared to many others), it’s good that Trump just hits her with everything, keeping her and her supporters constantly on the defensive.

What is it is with the democrats protecting rapists and pedophiles?

You can add all criminals in general. I guess it's because criminals are their constituents.

Being married to a rapist, it’s no surprise she takes the crime so lightly.

When we use the term ‘liberal elite’ we’re saying it with sarcasm...

Toobin’s a liar or a fool... or maybe he gets off on child rape... who knows his motive? Creepy guy

I guess her WAR ON WOMEN started even earlier than we’ve been led to believe.

Tobin is a chubby tool of the Left with a character deformity that allows him to try to justify Hillary’s odious record of nasty behavior, from her callow youth when she was fired from the Nixon impeachment plot for dishonest dealing to her present day’s lying frenzy/cover-up.

That’s why I hope Judicial Watch gets to depose Hillary in the FOIA lawsuit.

Hillary will have to tell the truth, take the 5th, or say “I don’t recall”.

She can’t risk lying, because she doesn’t know who has the evidence contradicting her.

I hate to think what fantasies Hillary had when she was a kid. And I’d probably vomit to think what fantasies she has today.

I read this in a doctor’s office. The stupid hurts from this supposedly brilliant man. His convoluted attack on Scalia’s originalism is painful to anyone with a brain.

I bet Hitler told some “funny” war stories too, but hey, no big deal, right? They’re just war stories.
