Gawker's American. They'd publish regardless. The Blair Q&A meanwhile, is surreal.

Blair looks super nervous in this press conference. Speaking a mile a minute. Voice crackling. Weird. Tells reporters that ALL of the evidence will come out in court where it belongs. Emphasises this several times. Seems to imply that they have something pretty special. Wow.

Anonymous (yes, that Anonymous) now claim to have knowledge of the video (#YAN is YourAnonNews): https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews/status/345203121393369088

Doug Holyday is dancing the Charleston right now on CP24. "i don't know how the police operate. Sometimes they tell people, sometimes they want the element of surprise so they keep it to themselves. Ummmm... you should ask the police..." Also claims these raids happened because Rob Ford's...

Very, very interesting quote from: http://globalnews.ca/news/638238/police-conduct-major-raids-in-toronto/

Trying to find the "like" button...

This is obviously no coincidence.

Yup. Maybe it's all a coincidence. Though the Star did mention in its coverage: So... who knows...?

Wow - so a credible source then. If police do have the video, what are the chances of it becoming public? I suppose that would depend on the charges associated with it....

Anyone know who she is? Can this possibly be credible?? https://twitter.com/FranZingone/status/345129769895067649

Here's a photo posted by Robyn Doolittle: https://twitter.com/robyndoolittle/status/345124116157837313/photo/1 Looks like a pretty serious raid. I'm guessing Elena Basso may find it difficult to score in the coming days... Likewise for Robbie. Also, this...

http://www.thespec.com/opinion-story/3833594-rob-ford-is-yes-playing-it-smart/ A pretty decent article from the Spectator. Although I had earlier criticised Mayor McCheese's handling of the crisis, if indeed he did purchase the video and received some sort of assurances that no copies will be...

Agree. "You can't teach that kind of loyalty".. but you can punish its absence.

I spit up a bit of water reading that. :) On a side note, I wonder if there are any other leads reporters are following up on regarding this case. There's too much out there for it to just die (I hope)...

Interesting tweet from Toronto Sun City Hall Bureau Chief, Don Peat: Seems the Sun remains interested in this story.

I think he may have just been linking to it?

Yeah, just spotted this too. When is enough going to be enough? Will Mayor McCheese go away with any shred of dignity and step aside, or is he gonna stick this one out til the bitter end? Now would be a good time to play that rehab card while he can at least say (to the disbelieve of most but...

You might be reaching just a bit there :p

Those recent tweets have been deleted now, though they were retweeted by some of his followers, including another deleted one where he said 'Am I that important now?' I think Ford's people are getting in touch with him as we speak. That Twitter account will be down by lunch.
