Jeffrey Toobin, a CNN legal commentator, startled reasonable viewers yesterday when he claimed that child porn offenders are being punished too harshly in 2021, and that they should be given considerably more lenient sentences because times have changed.
Toobin, who was offered a job at CNN after being sacked from The New Yorker in 2020 after masturbating on a Zoom conference with coworkers,
When discussing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the CNN analyst defended her compassion toward child porn offenders.
Per Fox: On Tuesday, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson addressed Sen. Josh Hawley’s, R-Mo., criticism against her about her sentencing record of being more lenient towards child porn and sex offenders.
Appearing on CNN’s “At This Hour with Kate Bolduan,” Toobin agreed with Jackson’s argument that current child porn sentences need to be reduced and adapted for a “post-internet” society.
“I remember, when I was an assistant U.S. Attorney back in the ’90s is that when those sentencing guidelines were written for those cases, that this was a time when the people who committed these crimes would order individual photos and get them usually through email, and then they would be sentenced based on the number of photos they possessed. This was all pre-internet,” Toobin explained.
“So once the internet came in and people got access to hundreds and then thousands of photos, the sentencing guidelines would reflect hundreds and then thousands of photos. Federal judges have been struggling with the issue of how do you create a fair system that was designed pre-internet, yet you have to sentence people post-internet.“
Jackson made similar comments when asked about her previous sentences by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
“It wasn’t like she was letting these people go, but they were somewhat less than the guidelines because the guidelines had not been adapted for the internet era,” Toobin said.
In 2020, Toobin was fired from his position at The New Yorker for masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues. While he was absent for eight months from the liberal network, Toobin returned to CNN in June 2021.
Jackson continues to face questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee about her nomination to the Supreme Court. President Biden selected Jackson as his nominee in February after Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement from the bench. If appointed, Jackson will be the first Black female to serve on the Supreme Court.
This sick CNN news man is part of the problem. We have very left, sick news people supporting immoral attitudes. Satan has finally got complete hold of the leftist media. Another very sad situation is that of Disney, a previous Std in morality and clean movies. Now deteriorating to pieces. Walt Disney would be deeply disappointed if he was still here. The deterioration of hearts and souls will culminate badly for these people.
lol Probably shouldn’t use std as an abbreviation for the word standard on the interwebz. Now saying Disney is an Std on society is a statement I can agree with.
How much does anybody want to bet that this creep is a pedophile himself? Anyone want to check out what he has on his computer?
Who Toobin? I bet he’s a kid fucker, allegedly.
It’s no surprise that this guy (I was going to use another adjective to describe him but changed my mind) would defend going easy on pedophiles.
In 2020, Toobin was fired from his position at The New Yorker for masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues. WHAT???
If Toobin’s “spunk” hit the camera during the Zoom call, would it be considered a “blocked call”?
If a pedophile were to have his or her way with Jeffrey Toobin’s kids, would Jeffery feel the same way???
The left knows NO boundaries. NONE.
This is like the kettle calling the pot black. Two sicko’s that think child porn is good in any amount. One picture downloaded is one to many. Looks like since pedo Joe got into office that any sexual deviance is okay. We have all kinds of sexual crimes everywhere and now a possible Supreme Court Justice that likes it. Wonder how she would feel if it was one of her kids. I feel bad for her family because it will now be all over the news that they have a mom who likes child porn
now you know why Camela was going on about the “passage of time”…
“While he was absent for eight months from the liberal network, Toobin returned to CNN in June 2021.”
…
Kind of makes you wonder whats on this creeps personal computer????
Of course he would defend the indefensible actions of the Nominee. His personal moral compass is not just broken it is obliterated. He has no thought of the children being expolited. The point isn’t the easy access and that times have changed. The point is children are being explited in an even greater number to satisfy the demand for the porn.
