You mean he called the judge up and told him to release the document? Or he set up Ford by asking him to pick up MacDonalds for him, and then sent Lisi with a white package to the parking lot to plant on ford.
I think these are very likely scenarios, thanks for bringing those to light.

Shoot I missed all the fun this morning.
The biggest thing is I'm glad we finally got an answer one way or another. They way it all ended (up until today) was unsatisfying and confusing.
Doesn't look like Rob will be charged with anything, but I can't see how he stays in office.

The only reason that the face of crack is what it is, is because it is cheap enough that street people can get it, and those are the ones that have to choose crack over food. Someone like Rob Ford doesn't have to choose.

Crack ain't cheap but I get your point but disagree. The people you see portrayed on TV is what a usual crack head looks like. They don't portray once a week crack smokers on TV.

Yeah, as for crack, I'm not sure there are occasional users either. I do agree that trying a drug doesn't have to turn you into a fiend, or an addict. And that there are different types and say, levels of addiction, with different problems associated with them. But like alcoholism, I think addiction can be possible to hide sometimes, though there are problems brewing below the surface. I think once you've gotten to the point where you are using crack, you're probably addicted in someway. The two people I know that used crack eventually got to a point where they had to go to a program and quit for good. Although I do know people who have gone to programs for things like alcohol, or stopped other substances because they felt it was affecting their life negatively, I never saw in the same 'guaranteed' way that those who had used crack got addicted. Small sample size I know, but crack had a 100% addiction rate from what I saw, and other substances did not.
Rob's life could definitely be easier to manage with money and connections and such, but I would imagine when things get rough, as they are now, he probably feels he needs to use to cope. Could be alcohol too though.

Just like pot there are a lot of people who smoke crack that you would have no idea about. Not everyone is a daily user fiend.

People of Vaughan don't vote for the mayor of Toronto.

He just cant get out of his own way.
Now, "allegedly", he called into a TO talk show as someone else and all sorts of hilarity ensues.

Under latest audio entitled "is this Rob Ford"?

The Nightmayor on Ford Street exists because Toronto's Yop-Gobblers defeated their Latte-Sippers. Rob Ford is what happens when you let Yop-Gobblers win.
