Lest we forget this whole story is only alive again because its now proven the tape exists. If Ford could have found a foolproof, 100% way to destroy it he would have. His character tells you that.

Of course they would use it. All I am saying is there is no way to prove what they were going to use it for. They could have leaked it to media to try and get him ousted and have a new mayor come in that they have on their payroll.
