The lawyer, Gregory Miller, said Greer is innocent of any criminal activity and will fully cooperate with the investigation. Miller accused the current party chairman, John Thrasher, of having a "personal vendetta" against his predecessor.
"The statements and actions of John Thrasher today against his predecessor, former GOP Chairman Jim Greer, are without merit and the continuation of a political vendetta intended to conceal the actions of others and blame Chairman Greer, a private citizen, for the conduct of elected officials," Miller said in a statement.
"Mr. Thrasher's accusations are a heavy-handed attempt to avoid the Party's formally documented financial and legal obligation to Mr. Greer, who has not committed any criminal activity and looks forward to cooperating fully with any investigation," he said.

Keep spreadin the love gop- and eat each other so the public have to vote NO to you AGAIN in November! THIS is the grand old party in action!!
Hmm the RNC has real issues these days... use money for a slide show to gain funding using fear as a tactic, perhaps illegal use of funds, and the RNC paying for a sex club to gain money from Young Eagles in California. Yep real upstanding values...
So his own state party set him up? Sounds rather suspicious.
everyone in prison is innocent!
lol
Why do you think they are called "parties"?
Hehe, a Republican denying criminal activity is like a dog denying canine activity... 😉

I'm gonna believe anyone who FEARS that the President of the United States has an intention to brain-wash elementary school children into his way of thinking..............NOT.
Does anyone else see a pattern of fiscal irresponsibility and self dealing with the leaders of the GOP? This is followed closely by the so called "family values" advocated by but not followed by those same hypocrites. Instead they give us adultery, leather & bondage featuring simulated lesbian sex in cages and money paid by family members to cover up improper actions and not leave a paper trail that leads back to them. I voted for the GOP for 12 years but will never again vote for the lies spewed forth from those elitist.
Vote Independent, or Democrat but never again republican.
