Toobin Returns to CNN: ‘There Is No Defense for My Conduct’

‘This was deeply moronic and indefensible’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: “Because I didn’t have better judgment. Because I’m a flawed human being who makes mistakes. And, you know, there is no defense for my conduct. The only issue is what should be the consequences. And the 'New Yorker' made one decision about the consequences. CNN made a different decision, fortunately, for which I’m very grateful, but I am not going to come up here and, like, split — you know, split hairs and try to come up with justifications or explanations. It was wrong. It was stupid. And I’m trying to be a better person.”
