CNN’s disgraced legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin defended Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record as she faces Senate hearings.

Appearing on CNN’s"At This Hour with Kate Bolduan," Toobin agreed with Jackson’s argument that current child porn sentences have yet to be adapted for a"post-internet" society.

"I remember, when I was an assistant U.S. Attorney back in the ’90s is that when those sentencing guidelines were written for those cases, that this was a time when the people who committed these crimes would order individual photos and get them usually through email, and then they would be sentenced based on the number of photos they possessed. This was all pre-internet," Toobin explained.

Lawyer and author Jeffrey Toobin was suspended by the New Yorker and is stepped away from his job as CNN’s senior legal analyst. He returned to the network after an eight month break."It wasn’t like she was letting these people go, but they were somewhat less than the guidelines because the guidelines had not been adapted for the internet era," Toobin said.
