New Yorker suspends writer Jeffrey Toobin for showing penis during Zoom call
New York Post ^ | October 19, 2020 | Kate Sheehy

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 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 Web site 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.

Toobin is a staff writer at The New Yorker and famously covered the OJ Simpson trial for the mag in the 1990s.

He turned his Simpson overage into a book, which fueled FX’s “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story’’ in 2016.

He is a prolific author who has written about everything from the US Supreme Court to presidents to onetime kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst.

Couldn’t happen to a better jerk. Of course, if he were a tranny male with a fake dick or a tranny female with a chopped off one, he’d be praised for his bravery.

“So... he thought the camera was off...What was he PLANNING on doing?”

Yes. Calling it accidental still doesn’t explain it or make sense.

Toobin is a lefty and the opposite of an originalist or textualist. He ignores the law and views Supreme Court decisions through a purely political and result oriented lens. He basically thinks of the Court as a smaller Senate, a policy making body.

Doesn't surprise me in the least that he's also a creeper in his personal life.

Yeah, more like an onanist.

Every moment of everyday anyone looks at Toobin they see a major dick. I don’t see what the big deal is.

He was just jealous of Hunter Biden’s Laptop Video.

Just curious, was his Penis at Parade Rest or was it Full Throttle?

“In 1986, Toobin married Amy Bennett McIntosh. Paul Attanasio was best man, and Anne-Marie Slaughter was matron of honor. Toobin met Amy while they worked at the Harvard Crimson together in college. She is a 1980 Harvard graduate, holds an MBA degree from Harvard Business School,[1][19] and has held executive positions at Verizon Communications and Zagat Survey.[20] They have two adult children, a daughter and son.[20]

Toobin had a longtime off and on extramarital affair with attorney Casey Greenfield.[21] She is the daughter of American television journalist and author Jeff Greenfield and the ex-wife of screenwriter Matt Manfredi.[22] They had a child in 2009, which Toobin initially resisted acknowledging.[20][23] Ultimately, Toobin’s paternity was confirmed with a DNA test and separately, a Manhattan Family Court judge ordered Toobin to pay child support.[21]”

“It begs the question why he was in such a state at his computer in the first place.”

Perhaps he had been watching Hunter’s videos.

Biden blackmailed Toobin into showing his penis to distract from the Hunter story.

Naked Zooming. Who knew? You learn something new every day.

An excellent Untuckit shirt promo.

You may not need underwear when you Zoom, but you do need one of our shirts.
