Jeffrey Toobin’s stroke of misfortune
The Spectator ^ | October 20, 2020 | Lee Smith

Posted on 10/21/2020 7:44:39 AM PDT by Carl Vehse

That’s the title of The Spectator Oct. 20th article, which stated in part:

Jeffrey Toobin is a man much wronged. On Monday, the New Yorker writer was suspended by the magazine for which he’s written for two decades, and took a leave of absence from CNN, where’s he served as a legal affairs analyst since 2002. What possible sin could he have committed that forced these pillars of the media establishment to sideline a bonafide star with the presidential election less than two weeks away and Team Joe Biden needing every hand on deck?

Toobin masturbated during a Zoom video conference in which he and his colleagues fantasized about forcibly removing Donald Trump from office and throwing him in jail. In other words, Toobin is being punished for having the precise response that the exercise was designed to elicit.

Let the jokes fly at the expense of the fool.

He needs to come to grips with the situation

Toobin needs to get ahold of himself.

I’d say that Toobin’s career has reached a climax.

The odds are that this problem has been dangling for a while.

I certainly won’t be giving Toobin a hand to help him out of his bad situation.

That’s Jeffrey Toobin to you. Only his friends get to call him “Jack.”

Well as per Rush yesterday, we know what a “Lewinsky” is, now we know what a “Toobin” is.

He needs good paper, he can’t pull himself out of this alone.

People in the office suspected that Toobin’s activities would come to a head. On the other hand, he thinks he’ll beat the rap.
