    That article says Johnson's own experts call him 'intellectually retarded'. What's the actor's excuse for supporting Ford?

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Paraphrasing MM: -they don't have enough to get a search warrant on Ford -nothing is imminent -they don't have enough to charge him with anything yet -TPS still isn't giving up, are hoping/wishing more evidence will fall in their lap

    Someone mentioned before an apparent lump on the side of Ford's head on the weekend (his left side). Here's a pic which shows something that looks like a swelling, with possibly a dot of blood/scratch in the middle. Looking at other pics and videos, the other side of his head also seems to have...

    Bonus: gangster's pic of mayor passed out with gun (note! this was not a real gun, it was a ceramic gun! per the site I got pic from)

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    ’14 Bonnie and Clyde Rob is such an awful person. What can explain his ongoing popularity amongst, say, 1/3 of the population? I would argue that corralling more and more evidence of his bad deeds (drunken stupors, crack use, boorish behavior, hanging out with criminals, terrible work...

    I see Metroman has attracted a sort-of parody account. https://twitter.com/PreAmalMan Wheels within wheels...

    I'm grateful for Metroman for sharing what he learns. I am learning to parse it carefully though. 2. Ford having called Lisi seconds or minutes before Lisi allegedly makes wiretapped threats certainly "places" Ford as the instructor, but it doesn't prove it. As others have mentioned, Ford may...

    Yes, whatever recordings Lisi may have chosen to make on his iPhone is the wild card. No indication there was anything interesting tho, from anything we've heard.

    It's just looking more and more like there is no case against Rob that would stand up in court. iPhones don't normally record calls, so getting all Lisi's iCloud stuff just sounds like a fishing expedition. Rob and Lisi called each other gazillions of times over the months, but what does that...

    There are ways it could be not extortion. But think about it. The video per se has no value to Ford. He can make any number of videos of himself smoking crack for free. The value to Ford is not having it made public. This is the 'menace' the extortion law talks about. Otherwise, how can there...

    Asked if the mayor “knows a few dirty cops,” as is claimed in a conversation picked up on police wiretaps, he [Doug Ford] said, “No, not at all.” Phew. Well, that puts that to rest at least.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    To convict Rob of extortion, you need proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he threatened someone or directed someone else to threaten someone. A wiretap of him threatening someone would do it. If Lisi turned and testified that Rob knew/ordered him to extort people, that would do it. A recording...

    Extortion: 346. (1) Every one commits extortion who, without reasonable justification or excuse and with intent to obtain anything, by threats, accusations, menaces or violence induces or attempts to induce any person, whether or not he is the person threatened, accused or menaced or to whom...

    This makes the Ford Bros. talking points about Blair (most biased Police Chief the world has ever known! C**sucker!) look like they may have had a purpose behind them.

    Could the fact that a police complaint about the assault has not been laid be a potential bargaining chip in contemplation of a settlement? His Worship likely wouldn't relish having his credibility "tested" in court, nor would he look forward to an additional police investigation; theoretically...

    Someone aptly compared Ford's actions with the "Shawinigan Handshake". Chretien, after throttling a protester in his way and throwing him to the ground (breaking his tooth) stated "some people came my way... and I had to go, so if you're in my way...." That seems like Ford's attitude: if I'm...
