CNN's legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Trump lawyer Pam Bondi did well by pointing out 'how sleazy the hiring of Hunter Biden was' in Monday's impeachment trial proceedings. 'There is no way to dress that up,' Toobin said.

CNN's chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin praised former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for one aspect of her defense of President Donald Trump during the impeachment trial Monday, saying she did an"effective job" talking about Hunter Biden.

"I thought Attorney General Bondi did an effective job at showing how sleazy the hiring of Hunter Biden was," Toobin told Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer Monday."There is no way to dress that up. He was given a great deal of money for a job he was unqualified for and the only reason he got it is because he was the vice president's son."

When asked by White House counsel Steve Castor if Hunter Biden was qualified for his position at Burisma, Vindman answered,"As far as I can tell, he didn't seem to be, but like I said, I don't know his qualifications."

Lol so what got him to do a 360 like Lindsay and the rest of them corrupt Republicans was it the 💰 did he threaten or did he just offer u something that u had to betray UR country 😆

The liberal replies.

but he is not on trial our sleazy potus is

That. Is. Not. What. This. Impeachment. Is. About. 1. Abuse of Power 2. Obstruction of Congress Morons!

Blah blah blah!

What relevance does this old news have to do with Trump and Ukraine? Especially after Congress okayed the funds? Hunh?

Yes

Did Pam Bondi forget it’s Trump who is on trial?

Which has nothing to do with trump asking a foreign government for help

Hunter should have known that if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Still, it has no bearing on Trump's impropriety. Being a damn fool is not a criminal act. A president's attempt to extort foreign governments for personal gain should be impeachable.

Is an arm of trump’s authoritarian party now? Did he or Putin threaten you guys? Then call EVERY school, company, etc “sleezy” because they all hire or give preference to family.

But no interest in investigating when Biden was VP.

Ohhhh some clear facts ooozing from daily lying CNN.

Maybe Toobin, but Hunter Biden does not hold a public office for which he is being impeached. This is obvious obfuscation.

Now do the Trump progeny.

No praises for this, it's a distraction of the true reasons for impeachment..... Remember!

Well at least she's not sleazy for accepting an illegal $25,000 bribe from Donald Trump or hanging out with Lev Parnas. That could look bad.

Hey, JeffreyToobin, maybe talk about how sleazy realDonaldTrump violates the emoluments clause, hires people that are not qualified to do their jobs in his administration and doesn't paid his debts for his campaign rallies.

if there was anything remotely evident about the Bidens, do you not think AG Barr would be up to his nads, tickling them, with evidence of his own investigation?! seriously?!

Jeffrey Toobin is horrid. There was nothing sleazy about the hiring of Hunter Biden. His dad, Europe, England, and others were in a coordinated effort and approval for the USA to oust Burisma owner, a Russian oligarch, who was profiting for himself and Putin by charging 2x r gas.

JeffreyToobin have you not noticed how sleazy PamBondi is or realDonaldTrump is? Both have a very questionable history. 45 bought Pammy for the paltry sum of 25k using his now defunct charity. By the way he has been fined/banned for life from running any charity as petty cash.

And would have been perfectly suited for the impeachment trail of hunter Biden. Yet....

Okay, now do Jared and Ivanka. Let’s get the United States Senate involved in figuring out how they made $150 Million while employed as White House officials.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with the two Articles of Impeachment so get of this cynical attempt to make Trump defence even vaguely legitimate.

I GOD OF UNIVERSE JUSTIN U.N. AS HEAD ELECTED OF WORLD IMPEACH THIS DIRTIEST FILTH OF EARTH AS A DACOITY ON WE OF THE POSITION AFTER OUR HILLARY WAS DACOITED OF BRAIN IN DELHI BY BRAR AND PAUL STUNNING HER WITH BATON ON DENY OF SEX TO THEY TAKEN TO INSPECT A COURT OF CHRIST .

And he went on to say that no laws were broken and that if the republicans were so concerned about they had every opportunity to investigate when they were in charge of the relevant committees. But there’s nothing there so they didn’t.

Didn't they put the president of Poland on that board too? Was that sleazy as well?

WE JUSTIN,M.B.E.,SUPREME COURTS ALL RECORDER AND MAJOR GENERAL U.N. WYE TRUMP FOR USING MY POSITION. HE WE CLAIM IS IN PRESIDENCY ONLY DUE MY CARD SHOWN TOO TO HILLARY.I NEVER IN LAST SEVEN FIFTY EONS OF THIS COSMOS GAVE STRENGTH TO A CRIMER LIKE TRUMP A MURDERER OF TEN MILLIONS

What’s Toobin getting in return for this?

Like Trump's kids in the White house and Guilani's son working at the White House and Barr kid and I can go on but I would be here all night

investigatetrumpchildren Ah,

investigatetrumpchildren Ah,

investigatetrumpchildren Ah,

LMAO

Sleaze + Pam Bondi = same

what about hiring of Trump’s moronic progeny in this very country?

I know people who sit on Boards who have little to no knowledge of the industry, yet their sound knowledge of how business operates make them effective Board members.

Jeff is Putin’s newest purchase. Lock him up!

How sleazy half of Congress' kids

And another thing - Hunter Biden was hired to oversee corporate PRACTICES, which IS in his field of expertise. WHY DO YOU NEVER MENTION THAT is your hit pieces?

That's all well and good but why the fuk are they even talking about Hunter Biden? The POTUS is on trial here.

There wasn't 6 BILLION in aid - it was loan guarantees. Why do you print outright lies? Maybe you should get some better fact checkers at that RAG you are running.

This guy can't be serious, let's talk about how sleazy Trump's shake down was since that is at issue, not unhinged Donnie's fake conspiracy theories

So Hunter Biden is our impeached president? No? Then why the he** are you reporting a CNN pundit's opinion about his?

Because she is sleazy.

So what? Not about The Bidens.

Except that Hunter Biden has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with Trump's troubles. He brought those upon himself.

Too rich. Bondi is the Queen of Sleaze in Florida.

Propaganda

Jeffery wake up

Here's the problem with Bondi's defense of tRump: As President he had 'official' channels at his disposal to investigate suspected corruption by the Bidens. It was totally unnecessary & inappropriate to mount a surreptitious, clandestine operation led by his personal lawyer!

That's only to cover up his unbiased fear that the women on Trumps legal team wouldn't be allowed to speak. I'm sure if it had been a male lawyer, Toobins assessment would have been different.

Hunter Biden is going to jail v soon

Who is sleazier than Pam Bondi? Did Hunter Biden commit a crime? No! Pam Bondi did when she accepted $25,000 contribution to have a Trump University lawsuit dismissed. Tobin knows this!

On the sleazy meter, Javanka take the cake.

Oh, and how about the sleazy hiring of ivanka and Jared as special assistants to a president- all of them with zero govt experience!

What? Sleazy? Like the election of sleazy trump after the Access Hollywood video was discovered.

Hunter Biden wasn’t working in Washington DC, He was working on the board of some Ukraine company. I really don’t care, do you?

WhitfordTed Puke

Maybe sleazy but not illegal.

I watched cnn tonight and can tell Toobin getting tired of the company line. Especially Gerhardt

So...according to the body of this story, Toobin thought the Republican defense team's presentation was a train wreck. But the HEADLINE refers only to the the one thing he agreed with,--and makes it sound like the Trump team cleared the bases. Why is that?

I agree with that. Ivanka and Jared working at the White House is also sleazy. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe we need some laws about what the kids can do when a parent is president or Vice President.

So how sleazy is having your daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared working in the White House? Meanwhile, Ivanka received Chinese trademarks since her father has been in office and Jared can't pass a security clearance without Trump intervening?

Except Biden is not on trial, or is a material witness to the charges against Trump. Therefore, Toobin is absolutely wrong in any praise of her. She might as well be blaming Any other of Trump’s fictional enemies.

I guess so if I go by what you say. But, I realize I can’t be the uneducated.

It was sleazy but hunter Biden is not on trial.

What does that have to do with Trump’s qui pro quo?

Back to basics...real sleaze is a US President using his power to extort/bribe Ukraine for a “personal” favor that would Only assists Trump NOT the US. Also article 2 continues to be abused as Impeached Trump obstructs Congress. dumpgop

Pamela Bondi? Omg. Desperate.

As opposed to every sleazy hiring of Trump?

Sometimes I wonder if some are really journalists ... Bondi a big black pot mocked the kettle and you applaud? JeffreyToobin what is so impressive about showing the children of people in power benefit? You know who Javanka is? Come on!

Jeffrey Toobin does a great job proving how sleazy CNN is for hiring partizan hacks like Jeffrey Toobin, every day.

I’ve honestly never understood this point. He was a lobbyist and private equity guy with access/connections to capital sources. They hired him for that expertise (ie his connections). Not to run the company. This type of shit happens in board rooms across the globe.

No one disputes the ethics/sleaze factor of Hunter Biden‘s employment at Burisma. It is the fact that the president asked a foreign government and not his own country’s agencies to investigate possible corruption of this American citizen that is abusive (and galling).

Nice hack job - your headline doesn’t cover Toobin’s full comments in that piece. He went on to say that she absolutely lied about Biden’s involvement in the corruption being alleged. ResponsibleJournalism please!

Let alone hers with Qatar.

Yes, but JeffreyToobin forgot to vet Bondi and her conflict of interest, i.e. her relationship with Parnas and her own salary that is alleged to be in excess of her skills. She has some white house job that is not law releated and getting a lot of money!

Whataboutism

Who?

Did this make your 'Reliable Sources' show tonight? brianstelter

So what? He’s not a Harvard Law Professor like tribelaw

THUS.....enough 'smoke' to warrant an investigation.
