TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Charlie Crist and a future House speaker are listed among the witnesses that could be called into court as part of a criminal corruption case against former Republican Party boss Jim Greer, according to documents released Tuesday by state prosecutors.

The state's Office of Statewide Prosecution released hundreds of pages of evidence, including a secretly recorded phone call between Greer and the party's former executive director, Delmar Johnson, as part of its deepening case against Greer, who is accused of establishing a secret company to siphon $200,000 in party donations.

Greer was arrested in his Seminole County home earlier this month and indicted on six felony counts of grand theft, money laundering and attempted fraud. He faces as much as 75 years in prison if convicted.

Under an immunity agreement signed May 18, Johnson agreed to reveal evidence against Greer, whose toddler son, Aidan, is Johnson's godson. Johnson has been ordered to pay $65,093 restitution to the state GOP but faces no jail time nor criminal record even though investigators said he "aided and abetted Greer."

Well, on the bright side, at least he wasn't using his Republicon pArtY credit card to hang out and get stinko at Wide-stance Faux Lesbian-Rentboy Bondage Diaper & Luggage-Handling Clubs, or other familiar Republicon haunts.
