Why did Florida's Republican Party hide the subpoena

This is only the Republican Party and it's only from the state of Florida, but what it is, is a sample of just how corrupt the political system has become.
You know as well as I do that every state from both parties has this very same kind of garbage going on.
And the benefactors of this garbage are running this country, the proof is in the pudding.
America your government, as well as your political system has head lice, and their nits are everywhere.
It's time to strip them out with the lice comb.

Hat tip to Karl Denninger as well as BloggyBayou for the find.




Federal investigators slapped the Republican Party with a subpoena seeking financial records as part of a wide-ranging corruption probe by the FBI, IRS and U.S. Attorney's Office, the Herald/Times has learned.

The subpoena, delivered Election Day, sought documents related to big spending by top Republican honchos who were given party-paid American Express cards.

Top RPOF officials and investigators declined comment on the federal probe or the subpoena.

For more than a year, the party has reeled from scandals tied to the credit cards as well as four unrelated state criminal probes into its former chairman, a fundraiser, a former Florida House speaker and a Capitol insider.

Federal investigators have already interviewed consultants, donors and numerous senators -- some in their Capitol offices. The investigations are being handled in multiple offices throughout the state, from Pensacola to Miami.

The specific targets of the recent subpoena are unclear.

Republican Party of Florida Chairman John Thrasher said he wasn't sure about the details of the subpoena and said he couldn't opine on them.
