CNN’s Toobin: ‘Hillary Clinton Seems Like a Clueless Baby Boomer Who Is At Sea With Technology’

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin argued that while Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email conduct wasn’t prosecutable, Clinton “seems like a clueless Baby Boomer who is at sea with technology, and who was very careless, as Jim Comey, said about how she handled classified information.”

Toobin said, “If you look at the questions to which she said, I don’t know it’s actually pretty understandable. They are very detailed questions about classified information. She did not pay a lot of attention to these issues, much to her misfortune, and I — her denials of knowing, actually, I think, seem somewhat believable.”

He added, “I mean, this does not seem like a prosecutable case. Hillary Clinton seems like a clueless Baby Boomer who is at sea with technology, and who was very careless, as Jim Comey, said about how she handled classified information. This was a botch from day one, but the idea that she intentionally disclosed classified information, which is what you need for a criminal case, seems very — basically impossible to prove from this information.. So you can certainly see why the FBI declined to prosecute.”
