accidentally, or what? And was he doing anything unseemly with it?

Since it was a private Zoom session, why is this part being made public?

Lyndon Johnson used to whip it out on occasion and it was just a joke. Now it's an assault.

spell it out so far.

And why make it public anyway? (It's already pubic.) Is every mistaken sex act now to be criminalized and condemned? Embarrass him, make fun of him for getting caught (No one knows how often this happens without being caught, but it's probably a lot more than we think).

And it's not just men--ever wonder about that buzzing noise during a Zoom meeting? It's not always static.

Stop themselves, I mean.

It’s bizarre.

As a young girl, I saw a guy do this in a park where I was playing with my friends. Later, as an adult and a runner, I saw it more times than I can count out in a park and on other trails.

I once saw a guy doing it in the parking lot of a Roses five and dime store.

I’ve been laughing at the absurdity of it tonight, but it’s really kind of sad.

Bizarre is a word to describe it I guess. But more so gross and offensive.

If I saw it so much as a young girl, I can only wonder how many other children see it.

I grew up in a nice upper class neighborhood; ha, no doubt with lawyers like Toobin lurking around.

Actually I read that two sources said he "seemed to be on a second call " at the same time. (not sure if that was just a way of explaining it that the people watching him came up with by the people watching him). So maybe he was doing phone sex or Zoom sex on the other call, thinking he had the camera off on the business call (or maybe both were "business calls" ...). That he left the first call then came back, seemingly not knowing that he was visible to the others.

That's why it's important to cover the camera with tape or a Post-it or something except when you want to be seen!
Now when he gets spam emails that say "I've been video recording you having fun, send Bitcoin" he'd better send that Bitcoin!
