CNN’s Toobin: ‘Just Not Believable’ that Kavanaugh Didn’t Do Something Wrong

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: “Well, I think that Wilkinson is a better advocate for Brett Kavanaugh than Brett Kavanaugh is. You know, she is an exceptionally good lawyer.

But he certainly didn’t sexual assault anybody. That to me is a more persuasive and effective defense than Brett Kavanaugh, I never did anything wrong. I mean that, that to me, was -- was you know, it was just not -- was not believable. You know, and you know, her repeated invocations of how long ago this was and the fact that other people who were allegedly present do not corroborate him, those are good facts; those are good facts for Brett Kavanaugh and she not surprisingly emphasized them. You know, I think there were certain elements where she was sort of taking on straw men where she said, 'Oh, come on, let’s not put people on trial for what they wrote in their yearbook.' He's not being He’s being put on trial for what he wrote in his yearbook. He's being -- he's being questioned about serious accusations of sexual assault; the yearbook entries may be corroboration of those evidence in support of the sexual assault. So the idea that, you know, everybody is on trial for their yearbooks I think is -- is a bit too far. But, you know, she’s -- she's an effective lawyer.”
