In Toobin's case he was actually working at the time and other people were involved.

With the other guy he was by himself .

I still was amazed he recovered from that.

But yeah, the zoom part is not so good. This has just hit me so funny with everything else this year, but damn, why couldn’t it have been a Fox guy?

why anyone would ever do this? I would not want to see it. Do you pay people to watch and comment? Ewwwwww.

I just told my son to please keep it in his pants and not ever record it online. It was the best, longest laugh I have heard from him in a long while.

because Trump breaks the law.

Toobin is interviewed frequently.

I wonder if CNN will cover this story. I bet not.

I am saddened by this.

He wrote a great book about it, too.

Toobin was all over the place, every day explaining what was going on with the court proceedings, what was possible during that nightmare. That's when he became known for his knowledge of the law and court cases.

Come to think of it... let's go back even further. He was also involved in covering Clinton's impeachment. I read that book, too.

A reporter for CBS when there were very few women who were given the opportunity. She was one the first like Nancy Dickerson , Barbara Walter's and Cassie Mackin. I remember her work well.

And I know on DU, when it comes to this, everyone grips hard with those kind of stories.
