RNC Finance Director Quits

[EraOfResponsibility]

The finance director for the Republican National Committee resigned abruptly Friday afternoon, and a source familar with the situation said he was forced out.

Reince Priebus, who’s running the transition team for new RNC Chairman Michael Steele, confirmed that Tim Crawford resigned Friday after just two weeks as the committee’s interim finance director.

Priebus declined to discuss the circumstances of Crawford’s departure, saying only that the committee is working to find a replacement for him.

But a source familiar with the situation said Crawford was given a choice — resign or be fired.

Crawford, who is also the treasurer for a PAC started by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, did not respond to a call requesting comment.

5. Oh well, I'm sure nothing untoward was going on

Otherwise, they just would have bundled Crawford on a small plane and flown him to Scranton. Most of the way to Scranton, at least.
