Perhaps, unless the TPS gets dead to rights evidence and the OPP looks at it and approves. The optics of the once doubtful OPP getting on board in the face of clear evidence against Ford would be almost worse for Ford. Granted, it prolly ain't gonna happen.

Indeed, particularly as a) there is simply no way the police will ever uncover what was exchanged in that phone call and b) Ford might simply have said, "They're trying to peddle that video. Get it back any way you can." Which also wouldn't stand up in any court as incitement to extortion. If...

What I want to know is where these "imminent arrest" rumours came from. MM wasn't alone in signaling something was happening soon. What sparked the rumour?

This. It took me half a day to find out from the CBC just who exactly these Crown "sources" had advised to shut down Brazen. They said "TPS." Well Giroux clearly didn't get the memo. It's bullshit. I only trust Donovan's stuff. That's it.

Dirty cops tipped him off?

A Jimmi T update would be good.

The TPS, Crown attorneys and OPP need to sit down and discuss exactly what's going on here. A war of conflicting and confusing words in the press undermines public faith in the system.

Even more from Giroux: What the hell is going on here? Is Giroux lying?

Again, the Crown is advising WHOM? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ford-says-he-has-been-cleared-as-opp-ends-oversight-of-case/article17789220/ If it's the TPS, then they'd better come out and say it.

But the investigation was on-going! This scenario only makes sense if the TPS went to them asking them to sign off on an arrest. Maybe that happened (MM seemed to think it did), but Giroux seems to think it was just business as usual. He says he hasn't even interracted with OPP, and why would...

I want to clear the air for a bit. Let's go back to the Star article for a second: So the OPP came in and disagreed with the entire basis for the investigation itself. This isn't about "charges will never be laid," this is the OPP investigator coming in and completing disagreeing with the very...

This is interesting. If we take away the "imminent arrest" rumours, it seems Giroux was caught off guard. Of course the investigation was on going because Ford hadnt been charged. @globeandmail: Rob Ford "cleared"? Not so fast, say Toronto police: updated story http://t.co/Qmwf5WgigR #TOpoli...

Would love to know TPS' game plan now that is a lost cause. Jimmi T?

And I wonder when we get word on what Blair plans to do about "crooked cops."

For all the breaking Tweets, it seems more that the case is at a standstill rather than wrapping up: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-investigation-by-police-at-a-standstill-1.2596914 I think the media may have overplayed their hands here.

Guys, before you go tearing strips off MetroMan, remember, you wanted to hear what he was selling. We all did.

Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes one of the greatest scandals in Toronto history. I see no reason why we should ever trust the Toronto Police Service again.

Don't worry guys, TPS has thrown you a bone: @jlancasterCBC: As it stands, #RobFord will not face any charges, barring new evidence. #Toronto police tell #CBC: "still work to be done." #TOpoli

TPS done fucked up royal: @cbcdaveseglins: #CBCNews Exclusive: #RobFord probe results in no charges. Crown tells #Torontopolice and #OPP no evidence to lay further crack video charges

It's over: @NatalieCTV: BREAKING: Sources tell CTV that Mayor Rob Ford is unlikely to face any criminal charges in the Project Brazen 2 investigation.
