This puzzled me too on a couple of levels. First, you know you are on an office video conference, so you join it completely naked. That’s a voyeur wanting to expose himself to others.
Second, almost everyone masturbates, but like all things there is a time and place for it. A video conference with colleagues at work is not the place to whip it out and start jerking off. There are thousands of webcam girls who would love to help you out.
Another aspect that is troubling is the seeming cavalier attitude of CNN, where he serves as a legal analyst, towards the whole affair. If this would have been Shawn Hannity at Fox, you would never hear the end of it.
