….Yes, but the eventual republican nominee will have all the money they need….

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign:

C151053 07/18/2016 GREITENS FOR MISSOURI SEALs for Truth P.O. Box 29525 Washington DC 20017 7/18/2016 $1,975,000.00

[emphasis added]

Nope, can’t (as far as we can tell) vote in the primary or the general election.

Still, $1,975,000.00 is a lot in anyone’s book. Gee, if only there was some available television air time somewhere in Missouri.

Yard signs! That’s one way to spend $1,975,000.00 in two weeks.

And where did all that money come from? (via the Federal Election Commission):

….Committee ID : C00619973 Name: SEALS FOR TRUTH
Address: P.O. BOX 29525, WASHINGTON, DC 20017
Treasurer Name: BRITT, NICHOLAS

Well, it’s pretty darn new.

According to their FEC Form 3-X they didn’t have any assets as of June 30, 2016:

So, until we see the next filing we can’t tell who dropped $1,975,000.00 on Eric Greitens’ (r) gubernatorial campaign. So much for transparency.
