The Republican Party of Florida earlier this month released a much anticipated audit that was supposed to finally reveal the depths of the financial scandal that has occurred under the watch of former chairman Jim Greer.
The independent audit also suggested that Gov. Charlie Crist may have benefited as well from improper spending during the reign of his hand-picked party chief who finally forced to resign back in January.
But it now appears that the situation may be a bit more complicated than initially reported.
It turns out, for example, that even party officials now concede that they aren't sure if any of the money spent on a trip to Walt Disney World was spent directly on Crist.
"We're not asserting that it was for him," said Dan Conston, a spokesman for the party. "We're asserting he was there."
Meanwhile, it turns out that the party reimbursed Jim Greer for expenses associated with a New York City trip that the party now says was improper.
So is the audit wrong? Depends on who you ask and what you believe.

Only the Republican party could pay for an audit and not have it answer questions!
