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.

So how do you accidentally flash your privates during a Zoom conference? I keep mine in my pants when I am not using them.

I am just trying to imagine a scenario where you take It out when you truly think the camera is off.

You finished a Zoom call. You drop your pants and take It out in front of a camera you say you think is off. Why?

Is it a situation where you can switch to a porno while zoom is still up and running?

Especially if you’re a media jerk jerking off while “Zooming”.

"I thought my pee pee was out of camera range."

I bet Anthony Weiner used that same excuse. LOL!! Dumb ass.

Did Toobin take one for the team?

Try to outdo Hunter’s tapes?

Become the News focus to shelter Bidens?

Note: “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

He had too much coffee, and has a prostate problem. And was prepping for a quick trip to the head.

Will be reinstated after this viscous attack by the Russians.

Looks like Jeffrey got the meaning of ZOOM calls all wrong.

Why do these sick lefties always imagine others want to see their gross junk???

Every gun is loaded. Every camera is on. Every mic is hot.


And, today, I believe that you can add that Every Speaker is a Microphone.

If it plays sound, it can pick it up.

If it’s connected to the Internet, you don’t know who is in your home.

I have often gotten him and John Turley mixed up. Turley is pretty solid. Toobin has always been somewhat of a tool.
