Honestly I give him 50-50 odds of walking away from this unscathed and getting re-elected. Marion Barry did get re-elected though he did not do so concurrently. Besides do any of us want him gone? There's never been a more entertaining politician in Canadian history and its not particularly close. |
It's just a stalling/PR ploy by the lawyer because he knows the police can't release it right now because there are investigations ongoing. (Not necessarily against Ford)
As for 50/50 chance, I might give him a 5 percent chance. I think he eventually resigns actually, though maybe not for a while yet.
This gets bigger every day. Extortion, murder, ties to gangs and organized crime. It's gone from a couple bad decisions to a real problem. No way he gets out of this unscathed. And the fact that some conservatives see it as still a difference in partisan politics and attitudes is starting to get a little disgusting. If people still vote for this guy should he still decide to run, they are even dumber than we originally thought they were.
