Coming from Blair himself...i'm pretty sure he give that statement after making sure the video exist. But until he ultimately says..."Mayor Ford did in fact smoke crack...."Police chief says:
- they have the video;
- the contents of the video are consistent with what the media previously reported them to be;
- the video was examine forensically and found not to have been doctored
Those are pretty bold statements. Either Blair is telling the truth or he has had a life-time longing to find out what it's like to be on the wrong end of a defamation suit.
