Zoom Star Toobin’s Checkered Past

| October 21, 2020


Jeff Toobin

Yesterday the story of Jeff Toobin’s misconduct on a Zoom meeting broke, posted here, which resulted in his immediate suspension from The New Yorker. CNN, however, saw fit to merely grant him some time off.

Unsurprisingly, this is not the first incident of Jeff making poor decisions.

Ex-CNN producer details Jeffrey Toobin’s past, says masturbation scandal should be taken ‘seriously’

Steve Krakauer details previous allegations made against the CNN pundit
By Brian Flood

Former CNN digital producer Steve Krakauer feels allegations that CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin was seen masturbating during a work Zoom call should be taken “seriously” and laid out a timeline of alleged wrongdoings by his former colleague.

Vice broke the story on Monday that Toobin — who is a staff writer for The New Yorker in addition to his CNN duties — was allegedly caught masturbating during a Zoom meeting in front of several staffers from the prestigious magazine. He was swiftly suspended by The New Yorker, while CNN has downplayed the incident and said they are granting him some time off.

Toobin was mocked across social media, with so many jokes at his expense that “#MeToobin began trending. But Krakauer, who now edits the Fourth Watch media newsletter, explained that Toobin has been accused of disturbing acts in the past, too.

“Toobin has been granted many chances, and has largely remained above the fray during this #MeToo movement of the past several years. Except Toobin has… quite a past, as detailed here in this blog and in a thread I put together two years ago,” Krakauer wrote, linking to both.

“In 2008, Toobin, who is married, had an affair with another lawyer, Casey Greenfield (who happens to be the daughter of longtime political analyst Jeff Greenfield) and they got pregnant. Toobin tried to get Greenfield to have an abortion, according to the New York Daily News,” Krakauer wrote.

“When Greenfield refused to have an abortion, Toobin refused to have a DNA test until after the son was born, and then refused to pay his full child support until her lawyer forced the issue,” Krakauer continued. “Then Toobin’s lawyer attacked Greenfield, for the way she ‘publicized’ the matter.”

To get the measure of a person, I’ve found noting how they treat others, especially those of a lower social status, telling. Read the rest of the article here: Fox News

I wonder what he will be doing with his “time off”.

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman

Beating off.

Tossing his hotdog

Slammin’ the ham

Hack Stone

At least Hack Stone can say that he was never caught masturbating during a teleconference. To be clear, Hack Stone is not saying that he never masturbated during a teleconference, just that he was never caught.

That’s why I always made sure the door of the porta shitter was LOCKED when I was in the desert.

What?

SFC D

I admit nothing. Call my lawer.

Hack Stone

Hack was at the port during Desert Shield. There were some British troops in our compound who were there to have reactive armor attached to their tanks. One British trooper opened a shit house door, and saw someone doing what is now affectionately called “participating in an election simulation”. The guy turns around and yells “ He’s fooking tossing off, he is!” That was just about 30 years ago, and it still makes Hack laugh.

Is that anything like, “distributing free literature”, “playing a little five on one”, “hitting the kitchen and mixing a batch”, or “feeding the ducks”?

Just ask the guy who got his Purple Heart that way during a surprise mortar attack.

Green Thumb

What a sleazeball.

He could always be a sidekick on Cuomo’s show.

Not to say Republicans / Conservatives are innocent of many of these “allegations”, but ever notice how it always seems to be overwhelmingly Liberal or Democrat?

Docduracoat

Wealthy lawyers still masturbate?

rgr769

I think they get hired help to handle it for them. But then Jerk-off Jeff is apparently a cheapskate.

UpNorth

Given his history, he wouldn’t pay the hired help after they got him off.

Mason

Called it!

It’s really quite a burden to be right all time. 😉

RetiredDevilDoc8404

CNN could always give him and Anthony Weiner a show together they could talk about bad judgment…

USAF E-5

Problem is, you know what they’d be doing during the show. Ewww!

Hack Stone

They would beat all of the competition in their time slot.

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman

Hands down!

Green Thumb

And Chris Cuomo could interview them!

Green Thumb

Oh wait. They may take a week or so.

He still needs to recover from being hammered by Ice Cube.

Combat Historian

Fredo can dutch rudder for Toob and Weiner while they talk…

RGR 4-78

The Toobin/Weiner show.

This weeks show,
Maturation of the Rich and Infamous.

“Toobin-Weiner”

Oh my god, Doc, you’re brilliant!

And swap dick picks…

The Other Whitey

World-class shitbird. Don’t expect us to believe for one second that any of his colleagues at NYer or XiNN haven’t known all along exactly what a douchelord he is.

Regardless of the circumstances of conception, it takes a special kind of asshole to try to have his child killed in the womb. As a father of four, I can’t fathom that degree of callous evil, nor do I want to.

“Last night, he masterbated…it felt so grand…he used his hand”

“Last night, he masterbated…it felt so neat…he used his feet.”

“Ram it, slam it, throw it on the floor! Wrap it ’round a bedpost, slam it in the door!”

“Some people think that he is weird because he don’t go out on dates!”

“But he would rather be at home, alone, to masterbate.”

Sick Bastard, hope he gets hairy palms.

My idea of masterbait is a big ol’ fat cricket, properly placed on a hook, ready for a fry pan sized bream, or a big mouthed bass.

Sparks

Looks like a queer or at least a queef.

11B-Mailclerk

So, does he get prosecuted for the indecent exposure/act, and sued for sexual harassment?

No. Right. Donk.

rgr769

Lefty prog journos don’t even get prosecuted if a dead hooker or intern is found in their work space.

11B-Mailclerk

Lawyer, right?

If you have the Law, pound the Law. If you have the Facts, pound the Facts. If you are bored in the meeting, pound…

“Mendacious moral midget” does seem fitting.

Berliner

Mendacious – given to or characterized by deception or falsehood or divergence from absolute truth.

I hit google search by accident on “mendacious moral midget” and the first 5 hits that came back were Jeffrey Toobin (2x)/ Alec Baldwin / Eric Holder / Samantha Power.

Same party. Birds of a feather flock together.

Who wants to sing a verse of Barnacle Bill the Sailor?

FIRST date with new girlfriend.
Is it ok if I use Viagra?
“why, do you need it to masturbate?”
No.
“then why do you need with me?”
