CNN's Toobin Defends Hillary Laughing About Defending Child Rapist

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."

Even though Toobin is twisted, it is good that this has been brought up on CNN. Folks that have not heard of the case can go Huh? And, tis more ammo for Trump.

Toobin is a Clinton lick spittle from the Whitewater days.

Does (scumbag lawyer, IMO) Jeffrey Toobin pay child support to Casey Greenfield?

She's seemingly cute from the pics: but was raised in New York and (IIRC from the article) her dad was divorced *three* times...maybe Daddy issues?

Anyway, with a Yale Law degree, probably too much of an attitude to be very feminine. I'll pass.
