CNN's Jeffrey Toobin defends child porn offenders while showing his hands

Jeffrey Toobin smiling for some reason

Having Jeffrey Toobin talk about child porn is like having a meth head discuss the benefits of pharmaceuticals. In any case, the disgraced legal analyst for the Comedy News Network (CNN) defended Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's lenient sentencing of child porn offenders in her Senate confirmation hearings.

Toobin now speaks on camera in the style of Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi, gesturing with his hands to show that he isn't "petting the cat," so to speak. As you may have heard, he has a reputation for masturbating in mid-conversation.

Last Tuesday, during the hearings, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked Judge Jackson about her extremely lenient sentencing record of child porn and sex offenders.

Toobin Appeared on CNN’s "At This Hour with Kate Bolduan." He agreed with Jackson's reasoning that today's child porn sentences have yet to be adapted for a "post-internet" society. In other words, since it's easier for scumbags to get child porn online, they shouldn't have to face tough sentencing. 

How does that make sense to the children being abused?

"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."

"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, implying that a 3-month sentence as opposed to a 10-year sentence was sufficient because the scumbag got the porn easier than his predecessors. 

What does that have to do with the act of promoting child pornography and sexual abuse?

Toobin attacked Hawley for even asking the question saying that the reason he asked the question of Jackson's light sentencing was to appeal to the QAnon audience. "This is about appealing to the QAnon audience. This cult that is a big presence is Republican Party politics now where Senator Hawley is trying to ingratiate himself and run for president with their support."

Yeah, and Russian collusion.
