“I’ve seen great loss, my life torn asunder and beautifully rebuilt.” What a beautifully-written line, one that expresses resiliency and hope.

MK, followed you for years when you were on FOX, always loved your writing, mourned when you lost your first husband, rejoiced when you found your new husband! I’m a big fan, even though our politics aren’t the same. I don’t care, I always enjoyed listening to your well-thought-out answers on FOX. I admired you because you are so smart and you were not afraid to go up against people twice your age!

I love strong women!

One day I was getting a massage and I found out my therapist was your sister-in-law, Chelsea. What a pleasant surprise! Best masseuse I ever had, and so smart too! I learned so much from her! I was sad when she moved out of the St.Louis area. I told her I was a big fan of yours! Wishing you the best!

I like this article. No self-pity, no whining. Clearly, it is written by a fighter.

What is mentally wrong with Zucker et.al. that he/they would sacrifice all decency on behalf of the likes of a moral outlier such as Toobin?

With apologies for going off topic - what is this about working on 4? If there was an announcement, I missed it.

Well done. What an excellent example you are to your daughters.

(Honest question.). Were you a victim of a boys' club at CNN or a LIBERAL club? I mean, if you were super woke and/or part of a victim group, would you have been treated this way? COULD you have been treated this way? Another scenario - if Toobin was a conservative, would Zucker have muted criticism of him?

I used to watch Toobin go up against Dershowitz on CNN and be shocked at how dumb Toobin was. Toobin ignored the laws in place that are supposed to rule and instead wined about what he wanted! Jeff Zucker felt compelled to quietly suspend Dershowitz too!

Every word in this was brilliant. It's horrifying that Jeffrey Toobin could publicly perform the act he did and instead of being sent back to the hole he crawled out of, he's exonerated, and you, speak the truth, and get slapped down. Echoing Megyn Kelly, “There is not a woman alive who could have done anything close to what Jeffrey Toobin did (not that one would) and kept her job. What a disgusting, incestuous boys’ club. So damned tired of it.”

Beautifully written. Stopped watching you a couple of years after you moved to CNN, the Crap Not News network. Watching cnn is an insult to your intelligence….being spoon fed pablum…flat out lies and demonstrable bs on a daily basis. No thanks. You bought into it and were complicit. Russia! Mueller! Trump is a Russian agent! I haven’t forgotten. You bought the bs and didn’t have the guts to push back. If you’re old enough to sit at the table, you’re old enough to eat.

MKH: Your intelligence and wit is what made me subscribe to this newsletter to begin with. Good for you. Tell CNN to shove it. There are plenty of other places that would be glad to have you with no resitrictions. That the Toobin supporters had the balls, (pun completely intended) to suspend you and not even inform you speaks loudly.

Kind of goes on and on, doesn't she? I get it. She was wronged, and now she wants to do some self-righteous venting. Problem is, I don't think better of her for having flogged the point is such tiresome length.

Oh girl, you wrote crap for The Federalist, a site started by a serial plagiarist. You had no idea who was funding your paychecks. Clearly your standards are not that high! You don’t fool anyone but yourself!

Wait so you found out in July and it’s….October. Also you have a mASSive ego, humility and compassion are not your strong suits, you lean into being smart ass, when you are not as smart or clever as you think. Check yourself cuz your children sure will. Good luck with that!
