In reply to the discussion: Former Florida GOP leaders say voter suppression was reason they pushed new election l [View all]Canuckistanian
(42,290 posts)29. I was wondering why this sudden confession happened
Until I read this part:
Greer is now under indictment, accused of stealing $200,000 from the party through a phony campaign fundraising operation. He, in turn, has sued the party, saying GOP leaders knew what he was doing and voiced no objection.
Jim Greer has been accused of criminal acts against this organization and anything he says has to be considered in that light, says Brian Burgess, Florida GOP spokesman since September.
But Greers statements about the motivations for the partys legislative efforts, implemented by a GOP-majority House and Senate in Tallahassee in 2011, are backed by Crist also now on the outs with the party and two veteran GOP campaign consultants.
