Governor’s Campaign Says Huge Donation Was A “Mistake”

[Disir]

The half-million-dollar check to the organization called Let’s Get to Work was one of the largest the group reported receiving last year.

But state records no longer list the sizable donation.

John French, an attorney and chairman of the group, called the listing of the donation an “accounting error” and a “mistake.”

When pressed for additional information, French said that people who log contributions and wire transfers “mistook some information.” He added that “there was never a $500,000 check” and that state records as well as Let’s Get to Work’s website were corrected once the mistake was discovered.

A spokesman for Florida Crystals also called it an “accounting error.” The privately owned company is run by the Fanjul family.

Florida Crystals has given money to the Scott campaign organization previously, including two checks totaling $150,000 donated in June 2013.

...But earlier this month Scott’s organization closed its accounts and transferred nearly $27.4 million to a new political committee also called Let’s Get to Work.

Everybody watching this, right? This will be a, "Are you going to believe your lying eyes?" thang. This is intentional confusion. So, why are these people allowed to get away with it?
