The Wall Street Journal reports that Joplin businessman David Humphreys is not under investigation for being part of an alleged pay-for-play operation. (The Journal article is behind a pay wall, so the link is to a Kansas City Star article.)
According to the article, the Department of Justice confirmed that a letter had been sent to Humphreys' lawyer saying that Humphreys is not under investigation and never has been.
The pay-for-play allegations have been featured in campaign advertising suggesting that Attorney General and U. S. Senate candidate Josh Hawley, who received $2.5 million from Humphreys during his state campaign is under Humphreys' thumb. It has also been the subject of a fundraising letter issued by the Missouri House Democratic Committee.
Humphreys sent a cease-and-desist letter to the committee and contributed $1 million to the House Republican Committee the same day, according to the Kansas City Star.

Can you imagine how sad your life must be to contribute millions of dollars to politicians? It's like being the big tipper in the strip club.
Harvey and me agree!
That there is great news!
You got a sugar daddy here and a sugar daddy there and pretty soon all the legislators will be Keeping Sweet.
Like Richard Nixon used to say! Castro couldn't even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet. So it goes in Missouri too.
I just wish I could get my own sugar daddy.
Maybe I need to run for office.
You can kiss his ass until Hell freezes over Harvey but you will never get your greedy little hands on any of that money. The truth is you will never be elected to any office you run for.
Harvey thinks he knows David Humphreys’ business, lol. Humphreys has spent over $10 million dollars trying to get right to work passed, and only 10% of Missouri’s workforce is union, certainly none at Tamko, so how does this help David? He can spend $10 million to save $100 million, because right to work laws reduce EVERYONE’S wages, not just unions. Humphreys would not spend $10 million if it wouldn’t save him much, much more, and you can take that to the bank.

Just how do you come to your interesting little theory that being passionate about Good government is a sad life?

to Hugh Janus: Maybe you should run for orifice. We have an orange anus in the White House.
Is passionate the code word for being rude, crude and insulting Harvey? I thought you were from the old south where Gentlemen may disagree but are never impolite. I bet you are one of those dirt poor ruffians from North Louisiana who never learned the proper responses of a Gentlemen in polite society.
Run for orfice?
I see what you did there.
heh heh heh
Maybe Harvey can be my campaign manager!

I wonder if Hervey is one of them genuwhine peckerwoods?
