CNN chief legal analyst "taking time off" Jeffrey Toobin
https://nypost.com/2020/10/19/...is-during-zoom-call/

Writer Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended by The New Yorker — because he exposed himself on a Zoom call between magazine colleagues and WNYC workers, a report said Monday.

Toobin told Vice in a statement: “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.

“I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”

A spokeswoman for the magazine said, “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

Sources told the website that the suspension stemmed from Toobin — a Harvard Law School grad who also serves as CNN’s chief legal analyst — showing his privates during the online meeting.

CNN added to Deadline that Toobin would be taking time off from the cable network, as well.

“Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” CNN said in a statement.

I am curious when, during a business meeting, whether on camera or not it is appropriate to bring little Jeffy out for playtime.

I’ve had a lot of strange thoughts during zoom and Skype meetings, but I can honestly say I’ve yet to think “Maybe I should pull out my junk”






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Was Comey on the call?

I always thought CNN was run by a bunch of perverts and adolescents. Like my wife commented, who would think to do such a thing, camera or not?

Reminds me of a guy I used to work with that would brag about using one of the private bathrooms to rub one out.

I once asked him what was so damned stimulating about our work environment that he couldn't wait until he got home so he could give himself a proper tug Roll Eyes

Guess he really liked his job.

Had a guy once using the shared bathroom on the floor for us and other tenants. WTH people?!!?

Is that what this CNN guy was pulling too, or was he just strolling around pantsless instead of Typing Without Pants?

He thought he could pull it off, without anyone catching on.

Authorities have decided not to pursue charges of indecent exposure due to lack of evidence. However, a civil suit may be appropriate in small claims court.

If you don't know this guy, go and watch some of his CNN segments. If that's the best Harvard can turn out then no one should aspire to go there. This guy is a complete hateful loon, so this behavior really doesn't surprise me that much.
