For Mayor Rob Ford, the elusive crack video was a ticking time bomb.
An hour after Gawker’s explosive story appeared online May 16, Ford’s good friend Alexander Lisi was on the phone making frantic calls to assorted shady characters in Ford’s underworld life. Through the night and into the morning, according to police surveillance records, he made repeated calls to Fabio Basso, owner of the Windsor Rd. home where it was believed to have been shot, and to video seller Mohamed Siad. He and David Price, Ford’s logistics director, were talking as well.
Ford and Lisi were also in constant communication -- according to police intercepts, exchanging 13 texts and phone calls that night alone.
Lisi was on a mission, police claim. His extortion charge would later allege that between May 16 and 18 he “did induce Mohamed Siad or Liban Siyad by threats or violence or menace to deliver said digital video recording.”
Siad was feeling the heat. At 12:47 a.m., a Project Traveler wiretap recorded his call to a woman believed to be his sister. He told her to take the phone out of the red pencil case and keep it safe.
Was this the cellphone that held the lucrative recording everyone was seeking?
After their flurry of phone calls, it appears Ford’s deputies had a handle on where that video might be.

(For as long as they go with Rob Ford being the number 1 issue facing to Toronto right now, I'll keep showing what the mainstream media seems to think as important to know. Rob Ford is just a man, nice to see a regular guy as Mayor of a city that have true issues he has and will address. Not like those mayors of the last 20 or so years prior to May Ford. At least he tries to do what he was elected to do. Can the same be said those before him? Mike.)
