Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for a right wingnut PAC:

C232453 08/01/2024 Club for Growth Action – Missouri Federal Committee Paul Singer 340 ROYAL POINCIANA WAY Suite 317-150 Palm Beach FL 33480 Elliott Investment Management Co-CEO/President/Co-CIO 8/1/2024 $500,000.00

[emphasis added]

What they’re paying for – via Missouri Ethics Commission “Amended 8 Day Before Primary Report” – August 1, 2024:

And, in turn, the Defend Missouri PAC pays for this:

And those hysterical television ads.

The right wingnut republican primary for Attorney Genral has been lit.

Pass the popcorn.

campaign finance, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission, right wingnut, Will Scharf, WTF?

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C222309 01/03/2023 Citizens for Scharf Will Scharf 8125 Stratford Dr Clayton MO 63105 Self Attorney 12/30/2022 $500,000.00

[emphasis added]

Citizen for Scharf | Fixed it for you.

For what?

“Statewide Office”

Who?

Former aide to Greitens plans bid for Missouri office in 2024
Attorney Will Scharf says he will announce specific plans in the New Year
BY: RUDI KELLER – NOVEMBER 30, 2022

[….]

“Our freedoms, liberty, and constitutional rights are in peril, now more than ever before in our lifetimes,” Scharf said in the release. “Now is not the time to compromise or cut deals with the woke left. Missourians deserve leadership that will stand up for them against federal overreach, special interests, and political insiders.”

When asked to be specific about where the peril is coming from, Scharf said he meant “radical overreach by the Biden administration” and “an increasingly take-no-prisoners attitude toward ordinary Americans” by liberals.

[….]

Well, there you go. The circle is complete.
