Toronto Police have a video of the mayor that's been widely reported about in the media. They won't say what he's doing in the video #cbcto

by Trevor Dunn via twitter 10/31/2013 3:37:36 PM
Given courts have released #LisiDocs , likely only a matter of time before alleged crack video is shown too. #sl #TOpoli

Blair: the mayor does appear in the video. "i'm not going to get into his activities" on the video. Stunning press conference.

Police say 2 videos now exist. #TOpoli #sl

"Without fear without favour," says Bill Blair of the @TorontoPolice investigation. #TOpoli

by CBCToronto via twitter 10/31/2013 3:43:28 PM
No one has been treated differently in this investigation, says Blair. No one has been overlooked because of their position. #TOpoli

by CBCToronto via twitter 10/31/2013 3:46:53 PM
Blair confirms, while video exists, not enough to charge @TOMayorFord . #sl #TOpoli

by john lancaster via twitter 10/31/2013 3:48:37 PM
Given the extortion charge against #Lisi involving video, cops now determine who else was allegedly involved. Say will interview mayor. #sl

Between March 18-June 24 Mayor Ford and Sandro Lisi phone each other nearly 250 times. On May 25, they exchanged 18 phone calls.

Also between March 18-June 24, 2 Ford staffers --paid city employees-- are in touch with Lisi. Chris Fickel 8 times. Tom Beyer 32 times.

Everything changed Tuesday when police located the Ford videos deep on hard drives. Had previously been inaccessible. #TOpoli #LisiDocs #sl

by john lancaster via twitter 10/31/2013 6:14:18 PM
Getting lots of tweets from angry Ford supporters. Many still don't believe a video exists. #sl

I'll be on Radio 1 to talk #LisiDocs and #TOpoli at 5:30 with @RobertFisherCBC #sl

by john lancaster via twitter 10/31/2013 9:27:56 PM
Still so many questions...if #Lisi allegedly extorted to find video, did he act alone? Or did someone ask him to?Workin on it. #TOpoli #sl

Mayor's lawyer tells CBC Ford "denied the existence of a video of him smoking *crack-cocaine*". He emphasized that last part. #cbcto

Lisi's lawyers could not discuss what evidence (perhaps a video?) may be presented to them. They hope to get crown disclosure on December 6

#Toronto police say they will continue to make requests to interview Mayor Ford. Efforts so far have been unsuccessful. #TOpoli #sl
