""Asked why he did not use his congressional campaign committee as a benchmark to estimate maintenance costs for his state account, Becerra said he was focused on ensuring he was not violating federal law or ethics guidelines barring him from campaigning.
"I had to make sure I stayed distanced from all campaign or politically-related activity. So I asked Sean to make sure we could take care of it.

Hope that helps, and please do move on. Your views do not match what the case documents say and the amounts involved wouldn't raise a flag in the way you insist that would involve judgment. Most thoughtful voters do know this. The investigators did, which is why Becerra wasn't implicated.

Hope that helps, and please do move on.
