Rob Ford Crack Tape Re-surfaces in Police Hands

Wow, Toronto Police chief in a live briefing on @CBCRadio seems to be saying they have the Rob Ford crack tape, or at least a tape. #TOpoli

A crazy day in Toronto politics, as Police Chief Bill Blair stunned the city by announcing that his investigators have evidently located the notorious, and much sought-after, video of Mayor Rob Ford smoking from a crack pipe. While it has still not been shown to the public, Chief Blair said it’s part of a larger investigation of Ford associate Sandro Lisi. Charges against Lisi now include extortion, though it’s unclear so far whom he was trying to extort. It could be Ford himself, though if that’s true I guess he and Lisi aren’t such good pals, after all. No doubt there will be more to come on this story in the hours, days, and weeks ahead.
