Another illustration of overkill today at the Missouri Ethics Commision for Eric Schmitt (r) who is running for State Treasurer [pdf] in 2016:

C071320 06/05/2015 SCHMITT FOR MISSOURI August A Busch III 1 Mid Rivers Mall Dr, Ste 210 St Peters MO 63376 Retired 6/3/2015 $10,000.00

[emphasis added]

When $1.7 million just isn’t enough for your down ticket race in 2016.
